What to do?

Having ideas that my past doctor may have mishandled my illness and with ideas about suing for malpractice, I asked a friend what she thought I should do. I specifically said that maybe I should ask the hospital why the doctor did what he did. And you know what she said? Ask the doctor. It was a principled approach, that I equated to what the Bible says:

“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

—Matthew 18:15

My friend is not a Christian, per se, but she gave wise counsel that was similar to the Bible’s teaching. I was impressed and appreciative. Of course, wisdom is not limited to churchgoers, and being Christian does not indicate wisdom is held. Wisdom is where you find it. Another friend thought that I should sue the doctor, or at least, warn the hospital so that the doctor would not allow another patient’s GFR to go down so low before taking action.

It is important to note that I have emailed the doctor to see what his response is. I have asked him why things went the way they did. Now he might defend himself against attack by rationalizing what he did, or maybe he was trying to protect me from the situation by not telling me what he feared. I guess I may never know. And maybe that’s okay, but I am kind of passive aggressive about the whole thing.

I’m not sure if I should even be writing about this , but no one other than my wife and the hospital knows who the doctor is.
