Prescription Malpractice
Definition:
Consumers need to be aware of the dangers of prescription drugs and
possible prescription malpractice. Health care providers in hospitals, nursing
homes or medical offices often overlook vital factors in a patient's medical
history. Patients may possess a potential allergic reaction to a medication
and if there was prescription malpractice, a patient can
suffer life threatening complications. For this reason, patients often begin
a lawsuit for prescription malpractice/negligence.
Consequences of Prescription Malpractice:
If a patient with brain injury who is suspected of having heart disease, for example, is given a certain medication that puts the patient high at risk for a heart attack, it could be prescription malpractice. Prescription mistakes could be prevented. Medical professionals should be sure to double check medications and medical histories of their patients. As a result of prescription malpractice, thousands of Americans suffer serious injuries or even die every year.What a Lawyer can do for you:
