Suggest Treatment For A Perforated Ulcer
my daughter is fighting for her life because an idiot ER doc misdiagnosed a perforated ulcer. He sent her home w/out even doing a CT even though she was screaming out in pain and coudn't even move. What do you think? And how to I file a grievance against this man who calls himself a doctor?

Thank you for posting on HCM
I am really sorry to hear about your daughter - I presume she is being hospitalised currently.
If ulcer is perforated - it is a surgical emergency & needs removal of ulcerated area of stomach/ duodenum & very high dose of PPI medications.
Hope she recovers soon.
Re filing a case - it really depends on the country you are residing in - best will be to contact manager of hospital where she was misdiagnosed to start with & if no luck then may be go through medical council / regulatory authority
Best wishes
