I have grounds to file a medical malpracitce law suit against a local doctor. Your answers are arrpeciated.?

If you had serious side effects, you had the responsibility to quit taking the drug and consult the doctor. Most people don't have serious side effects when they take approved medicines. That's one of the things that takes so long to get medicines approved, is to make sure what side effects occur, and what other medicines the drug might interact with.

Since you kept taking the drug even after you had side effects and didn't seek medical help, you contributed significantly to any harm. You won't win a lawsuit, and a lawyer will take this case only if you are going to pay by the hour, the lawyer won't take this case on a contingency basis. The thing is, the doctor did NOT contribute malpractice if she recommended a drug which usually works, but which you had a reaction to. She had no way of knowing that YOU would have a bad reaction to it, unless you told her, and apparently you didn't.

You have no case. It was YOUR choice to buy an over the counter drug rather than the prescription. OTC drugs are less potent and are not the same as the prescription. Also, the first thing the judge would ask you is...why you continued the drug for 4 months without contacting your doctor about your side effects.

Why did you continue to take the medication?

I don't see medical malpractice here - possibly a claim against the drug manufacturer, but even then not necessarily.

When you went back to the doctor with the severe stomach pain, vomiting, massive weight loss etc, what did she suggest?

Simple question, why did you continue to take something that seemed to be hurting you for four months? Did you not go back to the doctor and ask about what was going on so the doctor could give you something else. I think you are to blame so I would not waste my money or time on something a good lawyer will laugh at

in case you've self assurance that appearing roles continually pass to the finest actress or singer then you actually have gotten an fairly puzzling life only before you in case you elect to pass into appearing or making a track as a specialist. there are various factors that pass into identifying on a particular man or woman to fill a position. the guy's capacity is only a million element. for that reason, your skills would extremely be more suitable as you elect to imagine yet the different factors major to the human beings assigning roles were only as major. or perchance you weren't chosen because the extent wasn't large adequate on your head & the different actors. in spite of your skills, from what you've written, there perhaps a real situation about how properly you may want to get alongside with the others. perhaps there's a situation with the way you may want to outshine the others. In a production with 10 actors, if only one is head & shoulders above the others, it would want to smash the finished production. The target market member would submit to in ideas or contact upon only the only even as negatively commenting on each and every of the others. yet.... pass ahead & finally end up an lawyer. there are various lawyer's searching for purchasers. Get your figure's checkbook out & pass for it. only what's it you anticipate to win besides? when you're as more suitable as you declare, no longer being chosen for a school production received't harm your occupation in any respect. it is a harsh international yet no longer each and every thing that displeases you is worth of a lawsuit.

If those arent in the list of side-effects, you could possibly sue... the drug manufacturer.

If the doc prescribed medication in good faith there isnt much you can do.

Malpractice is frequently hard to prove. No doubt the doctor will claim that you are doing something detrimental to your health, or he didn't perform the appropriate testing. I wish you luck, mine prescribed antidepressants for pain which made me incredibly irritable so I quit taking them. Then for cholesterol he prescribed high dose niacin, which put me in shock 15 minutes after taking it. He claimed it was a reaction with something else I was taking! My advice, file a lawsuit!
