I can guarantee that you will do nothing more than waste your money on lawyers. I had a similar case ten years ago...I had a brain aneurysm rupture. My parents took me to the doctor, who misdiagnosed me as having a migrane and the flu and sent me home.
First of all, you have to deal with the issue of Tort reform, and the fact that doctors will cloak themselves in the issue of "medicine not being an exact science" and that their mistakes were simple ones. Secondly, it has been over ten years since this happened, and the statute of limitations has been far over-reached. The defense attorney will more than likely throw this at you...as in, "if this was so bad, why are you only seeking compensation now?" It will make you look like a money-grubber.
My advice is, let it go. You'll be out more in the long run if you don't.
