My attorney quit today sighting he and I's communication difficulty as the reason, so I owe him nothing, but now I'm stuck trying to get another attorney to take my malpractice case at this late date. If I pursue the medical malpractice under the FTCA they will off set the amount I get for that with my service connected disability pay and then hold my disability pay until it reaches the lump sum. Am I better off dropping the FTCA and applying for my benifits to be raised from the VA. I don't know what to do and it is all hitting me so hard that I can't stop crying or shaking and I need some advice from you on the forum of what I should do. I feel like if I give up that I will never be able to put this behind me because I will always hate the VA, but if I go forward I feel like I am in a lose lose situation. Any thoughts?
