I recently saw a specialist who wanted to run a test on me. I said ok and my insurance authorized it. Before the test, the receptionist/assistant, had me sign papers that basically said I agreed to the test and would not hold the Dr liable for the outcome and would not file for malpractice. I did sign and went on to take the test. It was an EMG, they put electrical shocks through my arms from elbows to tips of fingers, that consisted of at least 50 shocks on each arm. I have been home for 10 days now. I have passed out and continue to have shocks running up and down my arms, even as I am typing this letter. They hurt. At one time, the Dr. left the area to see another patient and his receptionist, who he was trying to teach I guess, delivered several shocks to me. They had me on this table for almost 4 hours. I have severe fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. This new pain is terrible. Is there any recourse that can be taken against this man?
