Need medical or legal advice please.....My mom went to get her ears clean when......?

Next thing you know my mom is in HUGE pain, inside her ear. She went back to the doctor to let them know the situation and they told her they accedentally touched a nerve while cleaning inside her ear which caused her to have severe ear ache. After that I they checked her again because she was still in major pain, they stated to her that her blood pressure was really high, (she had never had hI BP)after that they ended giving her morphine for the pain, but people with high blood pressure are not supposed be given morphine, so then she almost went into shock that her heart was racing almost gonna pop out of her chest, so one of the nurses started running to get another pill, realizing that she made a mistake, quickly went to get another medicine to ';calm her down'; and bring her pressure back down, what a bunch of idiots what can we do??? what can we do on our part. any adviceNeed medical or legal advice please.....My mom went to get her ears clean when......?
I'm just curious was this a General Practitioner that cleaned out her ears. I don't really know of to many nerves that are near the exterior of the ear canal. It sounds more like she had an ear infection or they ruptured her canal or tympanic membrane and won't fess up to it. They should have immediately referred her to an ENT to assess the damage and treat her. Instead it sounds like they are covering their mistake by making a huge one. Get a copy of her medical records from there. By law they have to give you a cop. You may have to pay but again by law there is a cap on how much they are allowed to charge. Then take those records and see a specialist. Such as a Ear Nose and Throat doctor. They will take a look at the damage that has been done and treat her accordingly. The only way you could seek legal advise is if a new doctor has indicated that there has been any permanent damage done to her ear and they committed malpractice.Need medical or legal advice please.....My mom went to get her ears clean when......?
Ask a lawyer, you could sue for malpractice if you really wanted to. Speak to a lawyer that doesn't get paid unless you win a lawsuit.
See an attorney!! You could have a medical malpractice suit.
you don't have a case.. there is no damages and this can be a normal unexpected outcome
