OT: Medical Malpractice Attorney in Houston?

I tore my Achilles almost 2 years ago and in the ensuing surgery (or possibly in the associated nerve block), my nerve was damaged and a significant amount of neuropathy. I've been to quite a few doctors and therapy since then (including another surgery), but it's likely permanent. I can still walk, but it has significantly reduced my quality of life. I was sued myself for a car wreck when I was 20 that had me looking at bankruptcy options for a while. As a result, I swore to myself that I would never sue unless it was very significant. I've put this off for a long time as a result (and hoping I would find a cure). But this is very significant. So a few questions for anyone that might know:
  1. I know Texas isn't friendly for malpractice suits, so is something like this just wasting my time?
  2. Would this cause issues with receiving treatment anywhere in the future? I've never seen a question asking about suing for medical malpractice, but I can't say I've read every disclaimer perfectly.
  3. Who would be a good medical malpractice attorney in the Houston area?
This board is amazing at providing insight on random things like this. I hope to at least get some clarity on this. BTW. I'm always open to additional treatment advice as I would much rather get better than sue (x1000).

Love/Hate Sark’s play calling

There are 10 plays per game I’m in disbelief that Sark calls that play (the 2nd and goal pass play for a TD on the 1 yard line) and many of the lateral runs instead of power. We even ran 1 play under center and smashed out like 6-7 yards, never to see it again.
Then there are 10 plays in like, what a effn genius call there. Quinn’s keeper to end the game, the fake screen to a wide open corner route. The 3rd down RB screen on the last drive. Just seems like you have to take the good with the bad with Sark’s play calling.

Some thoughts on Quinn after this win

As a long-time fan and alum ('84) I have suffered through enough $hitty seasons to appreciate the quality of the last two, and especially appreciate the improvement we have witnessed in QB play. Really no comparison vs the years prior to Ewers taking the reins. I totally get the desire to defend him and his play--I personally am a big fan of his both as a person and, as mentioned, as a player. But in looking dispassionately at the season as it has unfolded, I am really struggling to see anything resembling improvement over last year. I am starting to wonder if Texas is seeing "the good is the enemy of the best" ? Are we looking at Quinn having plateaued, and playing JUST good enough to get us to the SEC Championship by virtue of us playing pretty much the bottom 8 of the conference? We can only play the teams on our schedule, but would we have the same record if we had played Ole Miss, Alabama, USC?
I think Quinn at his best is an amazing player. But why are we talking every other game about needing to "get Quinn comfortable" etc? He's played 3 seasons now...those are not questions we should be asking, nor should we be scheming around his deficiencies. I'm not just talking about the future and the '25-26 seasons, but are we jeopardizing our ceiling THIS season by sticking with Quinn over Arch? Lots of folks on X mocking the very IDEA of questioning Ewers because we keep winning. Fair enough. And I hope he goes on a tear and destroys A&M, wins the SEC, and makes a run at the CFP Championship. But if we lose at A&M and get left out of the CFP and go to a meaningless bowl, will we be forced to wonder "what if?"
One last question: if you were determined to stick with Quinn and wanted to maximize his performance, what would you do? I would like some designed runs for him early in games; I think him getting some contact early loosens him up. He's no Milroe, but he really isn't a stature, and a few called running plays would get his feet moving in a good way.
Thus ends my stream of consciousness exercise. I expect a lot of TLDR responses!

Eighty Years Ago This Date.....

My father was up to his ass in Japanese infantry. He earned a Bronze Star that day and I always spend the anniversary reflecting on how close my family came to not existing.....Today when I was anxious over the Longhorns play, I remembered the date and thought, my dad knew more stress in one day than the Longhorns could give me in a lifetime.....

Award of the Bronze Star Medal.---By direction of the President, under the provisions of Executive Order No. 9419, 4 February 1944 (Sec. II, Bull No. 3, WD, 1944), and pursuant to authority contained in AR 600-45 (Decorations), 22 September 1943, as amended by Change No. 3, 25 April 1944, a Bronze Star Medal is awarded to the following named military personnel:

Sergeant Freeper, (then Private First Class), Infantry, United States Army. For heroic achievement in connection with military operations against the enemy on 16 November 1944 during the Leyte Island Operation. During an attack in the foot hills west of Guinarona, Sergeant Freeper was a member of a rifle squad enveloping an enemy position containing two machine guns and four riflemen. Moving in from the left the squad was held up and to get to the position they had to move about fifty yards in the open. Under heavy machine gun and rifle fire, Sergeant Freeper made a one-man assault and firing his weapon as he moved, he succeeded in wiping out four riflemen and the two machine gunners. This display of courage and utter disregard for his own personal safety was a determining factor in his platoon completing its mission without further casualties.

P.S. for @GuaranteedFresh! and @clob94, my dad was lugging a BAR that day. I suppose the family owes a debt of gratitude to John Browning as well.....
