My mother had a stroke the day after she left the hospital. Could I have a Louisville medical malpractice case?

It’s possible. Unfortunately, many stroke victims are misdiagnosed, especially if they are under fifty or are not considered high-risk. Patients who report feeling dizzy or fatigued may be given prescriptions for pain medication or vitamins, only to suffer a stroke in the next few days. …
