What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

An attorney of my former employer called me regarding results that he stated I introduced manually, or at least they were under my name. There are several reasons why this could had happened and there are a lot of irregularities inside the department that may helped this results to be reported wrong. He said was an internal investigation, but I am afraid and I may need legal advice. This was on 2015, I got my license for Medical technologist on January and started working there on march. I was new and my training was not enough time because the were as always under staffed because the can not keep anyone for low pay and overwhelming amount of work. The worst thing is that they do not say why, or if it is something wrong with any patient, or what an internal investigation on an former employee means. I called my former manager and she obviously could not say anything but told me that I would maybe need a lawyer, and that scared me. At this time I only have that call they made. They might be looking for more mistakes to incriminate me on something? They are only looking at me? Because if they search inside the whole department they will find more things that were simply not right to do. My interest is to finish with this as soon as possible without more damage, get a settlement or something that will stop them because I have an impeccable record, I was a good worker, no conflicts, no complaints, and I am currently studying to become a doctor and I am afraid this affects my whole career. Maybe it is nothing more than an internal review to fix issues from the past, but how will I know if the do not say nothing. Please, I need advice.

Unless you are loaded, I would wait until they ask something of you or try to charge you with something before retaining council. I would take the time to try and vet a few lawyers so you have one ready to call.

Because you are concerned that mistakes were made while you were employed and that you might somehow be implicated in these mistakes, it would not be smart for you to answer any questions asked of you by the employer's attorney. You do not want to incriminate yourself.

If you are called again, take the former manager's advice and find an attorney. Refer all questions to that attorney. Save any worry for the time you find you have something to worry about.
