    You don't mention where you are. That sounds like the sort of thing that happens here in the UK, are you sure you didn't pick the disease up in the hospital. Wherever you are I would think you have a good reason to complain, wether you get anywhere or not is a different matter.

    If you can prove it and good luck. Hospital covere their a** well these days. It's a shame there are so many scammers out there.......

    If you had a contagious disease when you left the hospital the first time and were not informed or treated, everyone with whom you came in contact could have become infected....an epidemic! 


    Contact the ombudsman of the hospital and make an appointment.  Be sure you have your facts straight.  


    My sincere hopes for recovery. :(

    Or you could just get a job and earn money the old fashion way!
