I have a severe chronic pancreatitis for over 3 years and noticed a big, hard node in my sternum in 2011, which was dismissed by my primary care physician as normal swelling. My pain management doctor later sent me for a scan that revealed multiple nodes in my right lobe, leading to a possible diagnosis of MAC or a tumor in my lungs. My quality of life has significantly declined due to shortness of breath, inability to sleep, and weight loss. I was also never informed about the nodes seen in a scan from February of this year. Additionally, my insurance under Prima Medical group is delaying approval for an ERCP for my bile duct per my gastroenterologist. I feel my primary care physician was neglectful and did not handle my case with care and right practices. How long have I felt mistreated, and do my current doctors believe the issue became more severe due to the delayed diagnosis?

I was a former employee, 'let go', with a covenant not to compete for one year. I have honored everything but they still have my picture on their website, showing me as staff with past tense descriptions, and it includes a link for appointments. There is also a tab dedicated to me referring to my new practice name, purposely misspelled. Should I send a simple cease and desist letter, or do they own the rights to the picture of my face since they took the photo?

I am filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Washington State, a community property state. I need to know which assets and debts I must include in my filing. Specifically, I own two vehicles with my wife, have medical debts incurred during marriage, and my wife has credit card debts and a business also established during our marriage. How should these be treated in my bankruptcy filing?
