I also learned I'm being prescribed medicine from my Dr that if took together can be highly dangerous .what ,who or where should I go to address this issue
A: Yes this is a potential case. Malpractice is where the doctor acts against the standard of care. Another doctor would have to review and give that analysis. The extent of your harm may determine the viability of the case.
