I got fired yesterday. I am a 30 year old single white male living in the United States. I have $5k in the bank, $45k in stocks, and 1 BTC. I am miserable. I have a rare problem with my legs and have had about 20 surgeries. Unfortunately some of the surgeries were a mistake and only made things worse. Now I can barely walk and it's only getting worse. I am basically bedridden. I am screwed. And I cannot focus on work or developing skills at all because I am in so much pain and stress. I do not think I will be able to get or maintain another job simply because I am so uncomfortable. What the fuck should I do unironically? This money won't last me forever. Should I sell the BTC or keep it?

I am a big fan of BTC but unfortunately I think it would be too risky for me to buy more of it now given I have no source of income anymore. I would like to hold on to what I have though.

>>14771105
I wish I could do that but it's more complicated than I explained in my initial post. It wasn't really a black and white issue where the surgeon necessarily made a mistake. It was a very risky procedure that did not work out and actually made things worse. I do think it's possible I would have some sort of case if I wanted to pursue it, but I think I would probably lose.

Only plausible options:

1. Spend all your time figuring out how to fix your legs, or at least notably reduce discomfort.

2. Remove legs and get a wheel chair. No more pain distracting you from what you need to do.

3. Buy BSV, which is the real Bitcoin, and will inevitably make you ridiculously rich within the next decade. Buy advanced robot legs with said money.

To be honest I feel conflicted about this. First of all, as I said before, I think I would probably lose, although I would definitely have a case. But I also don't really blame the doctors that much. It was a very complicated situation, and sometimes surgeries are risky and don't work out. I obviously wish things had been done differently but it's not like I was fine to begin with. Even before the surgeries I was having major problems.

>>14771299
I have seen some episodes of House but I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Basically I have various structural issues with my legs and their alignment. I have had a lot of surgeries. Some of them helped a bit but a few in particular were a big mistake. 1 leg right now is sort of ok. It's obviously not great but I can at least walk around on it. But the problem is the other leg is so incredibly messed up that I pretty much can't do anything because of it.

>> No.14771377

Ok, you're right that I really have no idea what my chances would be. Maybe I would easily win. But I'm actually still not sure I even want to pursue this. As crazy as this may sound, I kind of feel like it wouldn't be right to sue. I don't really blame the doctors. It was a very unusual case and they tried something that seemed reasonable at the time. It just didn't work out. That doesn't necessarily mean they did anything wrong. The main reason I have so many problems is because of structural issues I have always had, and this would be true regardless of the surgeries. Now it is possible that the doctors are more at fault than I know, since I'm not an expert, but I don't personally believe they did anything clearly wrong. Because of this I would feel like I'm doing something wrong if I sued them. Does that make any sense or am I a complete idiot?

Gotcha mate. Nah House had nerve damage from a botched leg surgery and it caused him chronic pain so he was perpetually stuck with a limp; he resorted to using a cane and downing vicodin every day.

Anyway, what sort of structural problems are you dealing with? I've got moderate knock knees and I've thought about going in for a procedure that would essentially straighten out the legs. Trying to do squats while maintaining good form is a bitch.

No, it makes sense. Not to be a dick, but if there was nothing they could do and they tried to help I think suing them would be quite unfair. These people tried to help given a complicated issue. Do you really think their intent was malicious? Probably not. Dont need that karma over your head.

Op, my dad is a doc and has medical malpractice insurance. IIRC, his experience (he was military, not civilian at the time) in getting sued is that there is an investigation to look for malpractice. Ended up being the patient's parent was trying to make money off of it rather than having an actual issue (such as malpractice).

If you're unsure what malpractice is, you can consult a couple different lawyers with a focus in medical malpractice. Beware, as lawyers are very in it for the money and winning, they may push aggressively on you if they think you have a case, even if minor.

If risks were brought up before your surgery with different doctors and you brought up your concerns and they were taken into consideration, likely no malpractice outside of the doctor deviating from standard surgical procedures.

Also, I have not look through all the thread, but sharing your expenses and any income (such as unemployment) would be good.

Sorry about your situation, that sucks bad man.

Yes you probably over qualify for disability. My mom got disability working mostly as cashier and a call center agent most of her career but she started going blind and had trouble working so now she's on disability

If your legs don't work and you're bed ridden and have had surgery and it effects your ability to work and quality of life you will 100% qualify, its definitely worth trying to get on it better than going broke.

Maybe you should get some counseling. The surgery is clearly messing with you and making you miserable, so you need to find ways to beat it. If getting another doctor to look at it and maybe help it in some way, then at least try to find some way to create happiness in your life.
