I know from person experience that Arizona has a 2 year statute of limitations. My brother passed away as the result of the hospital messing up big time. The first lawyer wasted time and nothing happened. I got copies of the medical records and traced the cause of death to surgically induced kidney failure which wasn't treated. We brought this information to a second lawyer who couldn't find an expert kidney specialist to testify in court so the case timed out. We weren't after the money. What we were after is this shouldn't have happened and we wanted to make sure it didn't happen again to somebody else.

I wish I could go back in time and make the decision of having SRS with another surgeon.   I personally would not reccomend the surgeon in AZ.  The surgeon in SF was recommending patients to go to him for FFS procedures, but he now consults with Dr. Jordan Deschamps-Braly so I doubt he is doing that now.  It is very sad that money drives these surgeons more than the patients quality of time and outcomes when it does not go well.  I have not met many that would cover the costs of revision.  My advice to many would be not only to save for these needed surgeries, but to have extra saved for potential revisions..
