Injury resulting from a brain MRI
I would like some opinions as to the possibility of winning a malpractice lawsuit. My wife has been having a very sore and inflamed throat for several weeks now. She went to her regular family doctor and he prescribed amoxicillion antibiotics for her to take. She has been taking them as prescribed with apparently no improvement in her condition. Anyway, she decided to go see an ENT specialist to get another opinion on her sore throat. This doctor took a quick look at her throat and then told her to just keep on taking what her family doctor had prescribed. He also said he wanted her to get an MRI done on her head and made an appointment for her at the hospital to get the MRI done. She is 74 years old and wondered at the time what a head MIR would show concerning her throat. Anyway, after the MIR was done she has had a problem with her right eye. The eyelid droops now and her eye in in constant pain. She also has bad headaches almost every day, which she didn't have before the MIR. This procedure was done about 2 weeks ago in Columbia, SC. I am wondering if she might possibly have grounds for a lawsuit.
