Misdiagnosis or more commonly known as medical practices are costly medical mishaps. Often, these cases occur when a medical professional gives the wrong medical advice or prescribe the wrong drugs or treatment. In many cases, the errors can lead to long-term disability, serious injury and even wrongful death.

Doctors in across the United States have medical malpractice insurance which covers them of liabilities in case of such an eventuality. Victims should know that they too have rights that allow them to sue medical practitioners who committed careless negligence. That is exactly what a famous country singer did on Valentine’s Day.

Lee Ann Rimes filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against her dentist claiming that a recent dental visit resulted in the wrong diagnosis. The dentist allegedly gave her substandard veneers and crowns. The dental procedure led to severe tooth pain, gum inflammation and bleeding.

Because of the malpractice, Rimes is claiming that the dentist botched her singing career citing her ability to perform is significantly compromised. She is seeking general damages, money for wages lost due to her inability to sing and recompense for medical expenses and other emotional and psychological injuries.

The country star is claiming that she had to have multiple root canals, bone grafting and other surgical procedures done to her mouth. She also stated that she had to undergo physical therapy after suffering a permanent cosmetic deficiency. The singer have cancelled all her schedules but is looking to resume performing once re-treatment is complete, albeit with a different dentist.

Unlike other victims of medical malpractice, the incident didn’t result in anything fatal. However, it did have an impact on a great singer's professional career.
