I'm glad you found someone....this is such a difficult issue...do they think it's easy to decide to sue...perhaps given the nature of their business they talk to a lot of suit happy people...but I wish you well...I had some pretty scary experiences in the hospital this year...I was in three times, and at least twice they tried to kill me....but as much as I considered suing in the end, other than lost work, I've returned to my former state of health (no thanks to them) thanks to some other excellent doctors...and I've just wanted to get on with my life...I have to admit, one of the things I weighed heavily was how much my current narcotic usage would play into this & I just don't want to deal with it....it was an issue in the hosptial and I'm sure it would be made into a HUGE issue if I ever sued....I did file complaints within the hosptial system itself...and this will hopefully prevent some other poor slob from experiencing what I did...it was really shameful! SO, good luck to you...they can't give you back your foot, but they can compensate you appropriately and I hope you get that.
