If there is any basis for a lawsuit, it would probably be found under medical malpractice.

But, hat is of no concern or moment to you.

I suggest you speak with a couple medical malpractice attorneys in your county.

Discuss and describe your problem, let them analyze it, and offer you direction.

I suggest you do this without delay, because the SOL is normally two years in these cases.

However, that allows exceptions, such as when you FIRST notice symptoms or problems.

Get thee to a medical malpractice attorney and see what advice you can glean.

If you have a case, a good medical malpractice attorney will take the matter on contingency, essentially he receives nothing; if he fails to prevail for you.
 
New York - Medical malpractice actions must be filed within thirty months of the date of the act or omission that gave rise to the injury occurred. For malpractice actions based upon the presence of a foreign object within the body of a patient, the action must be filed within one year of the date that the foreign object was or should have been discovered. Other professional negligence actions are governed by a three year statute of limitations.
