I don't believe this is a case of malpractice, but you should NOT be paying for it. If legal action is necessary, seek only payment for the procedure and any medication you'll need to take from missing your thyroid. Don't get greedy and go overboard seeking damages. That does a disservice to EVERYONE else who has to pay for medical insurance or for services without insurance. They have to make up the cost to pay for lawsuits somewhere and that place is everyone else's pocket.

Out-of-control legal action is the entire reason that insurance and medical procedures cost so much these days and could be why your insurance wouldn't cover it. The doctors are scared to do anything without loading up on malpractice insurance in fear of being sued for millions for a minor mistake.

I do feel bad for what you're going through and thank God no cancer is there. I hope it turns out well for you on the financial side as well, but please don't go too far. Money can never truly solve problems when it comes to your health.
