Medical negligence

Hi all

I ended up in ITU twice due to a bowel join breaking down following very routine surgery. Despite being in hospital I was misdiagnosed for over a week and ended up in septic shock and given only a 5% chance of pulling through. I'm now in the horrid process of suing the hospital and all of the horrid memories of psychosis have resurfaced. I saw a psychiatrist today as a part of the claim. I was wondering if anyone else had been through this experience and if anything helped?
