What are my rights if I had around 10 visits to the ER with the same throat and facial seedlings progressing but kept being turned away?
I was turned away with little to no help and then finally was refereed to a doctor who ended up taking me straight in to surgery.

If you believed that you may have suffered injury due to the turning away of yourself for medical care at the emergency room of the hospital that you went to ten (10) times or so, you need to consult with a personal injury attorney experienced in medical malpractice issues to see if the delay in treatment exacerbated your medical condition that you had surgery for. If so, you may have a factual and legal basis for a medical malpractice action.
