Medical malpractice is a breach of the standard of care, and the only way to find that out is to have a med mal lawyer order your medical records and send to an expert to review to ascertain whether there was a breach of the standard of care.

No way to tell without a review of your medical record. Another doctor would have to say that his colleague 's treatment fell below the standard of care. Contact an attorney in your city and consult with him regarding your case. Best of luck.

Post-operative infection rates are very common in modern medicine. They occur even when everything is done correctly. In fact, post-C section infection rates have become sufficiently common that American OB-Gyn's have collectively decided that vaginal births are far more safe for the mother in part because it reduces infection rates. These infections simply cannot always be avoided even with antibiotics.
