Q: Oncologist admitted chemo round #1; 40%overdose-Taxotere #2 same drug w/adverse allergic side effects #3 life expectancy
How do I sue doctor for malpractice in Oregon? This is 3rd family member, that was a patient. Mom, Dad & Uncle, all passed with this "Dr's care". At scheduled appt for #3 round, was given life expectancy. When my Dad said he was going to go to the Cancer Center in Arizona, Dr. advised not to go anywhere else, as "they follow the same procedures-protocol they do". Given 2wks to 2mos life expectancy. Died in 7 days. Mere 17 mos. after death of Mom. In between chemo rounds had to go back daily for IV @cancer center (needing a driver & wheelchair) hydration, immune support & antibiotics. Not standard. My Dad worked out daily up until Dr. practicing then was too weak to stand up on his own. With advances in Cancer DNA testing, in both patients & type of cancer, a Cancer Center would have found this horrible allergic-type of side effect & not overdose him! He was unable to recover & died. Beside cancer, no health problems, no Rx drugs & worked out daily.
