Hi there,

This questions is about medical malpractice by dentist.

Two years ago I visited a dentist in my area (Chesterfield.MO), My
gums were swelling and he gave me some antibiotics to fix that and
told me that take yogurt with this median because it will cause some
lose motions as its medicine behavior.

I start taking that medicine and start experiencing lose motions, in
4, 5 days I become very sick and got very high temperature like 105. I
got very week and was unable to eat anything then my friend took me to
emergency and I admitted there for 2 days. Since then I am
experiencing a very bad pain in my stomach and have to go toilet more
then 5 times a day with very pain for last 2 years.

After that I received a bill from hospital, most of the amount has
been paid by my insurance but still 1500$ left which they said I have
to pay.

I received a letter from court and a date of hiring. I told the other
party that why I need to pay this, this should be paid by dentist who
gave me this wrong medicine, but they told me that I have to come to
the court.

Please advice what should I do.
How can make that dentist to pay this amount and the pain and damages
it caused to me.
Where I can find an attorney who can help me in that, I cannot pay
huge fees to attorney.

Do I have to attend the court and pay to firm who bring the case in
court?

I ll appreciate you response.

Thanks
