Was our dog mistreated during a neuter?

Our dog was neutered and within a week had an infection, an abscess, and a hematoma resulting in the complete removal of his scrotum. The vet is claiming it was not a fault on their end however we are feeling as though it was, and are not sure if we should be financially liable for the cost of correction that might have been caused by something they might have done on their end.

Patent(s) 06/16/2022

I have ideas for a couple of patents, so it was suggested I contact an attorney specializing in that area. The few offices I've thus far contacted had no idea what a patent attorney is, even though their firms are listed under that category. In short, I would like to schedule and in-person "interview" with a local patent attorney to determine the viability of my ideas, the steps involved in producing prototypes, and which types of patents I need, as well as cost for all the steps involved.

What are legal laws for me if I am almost 20 and still live with my parents?

I am almost 20 and still live at home with my parents. I am thankfully finally allowed to start college this fall. My parents do not allow for anything. I am not allowed to have friends or talk to anyone online, they go through my stuff, they feel its their job as parents to be able to hold me accountable for everything I do. They control my entire life. I wanted to go to law school when I was younger and am beginning to think it would have been a great idea! I would like to know what the legal laws for me are. I am almost 20 but I do still live with them. Legally what are they allowed to do?
