A: A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a month. I'm sorry for your ordeal. I hope you're okay. You ask what you should do - you could consult with a local attorney to see if it's possible to arrange a free initial consult to look into your situation in more detail, in particular your admission records, the medication involved, and any impact you suffered. Your brief post does not mention serious health impact/injury from the improper medication, aside from the fact of your being allergic to it - I hope you did not suffer any, but without those elements, I do not believe it is a matter that a law firm would consider taking on as a case. Other attorneys could see things differently. The most reliable way to know for certain is to reach out to law firms to discuss. Good luck
