Default punitive damages?

Hello everyone,
I have recently gone to an ER and the doctor twisted my ear. I asked him if the procedure he was going to do would hurt, he said not as much as this. He continued to mock me. So, can I get punitive damage if he should have stiched me and glued me instead and the wound didn't heal?
Thank you.

Default Re: punitive damages?

What you described is really an inappropriate behavior, but not the sort of action that would support a lawsuit. A doctor should act professionally, and there is no excuse for mocking a patient. You should express your dissatisfaction with a patient representative. If you’re dissatisfied, the PR will generally make the doctor know that they need to adjust their behavior. If the 'wound' resulted in serious deformity or malfunction, that might be a basis for a lawsuit.
