This isn't a legal question; it's a personal decision. If you believe the delay is an indicator of a poorly run office, it could be a sign for you to look elsewhere for a doctor. If you believe the practice is run by a good doctor that everyone in town lines up to see, and that the delay is due to... Read more »
I was recently arrested and while being incarcerated the jail put me on a medication called Zyprexa without speaking to any medical staff or doctor. I don't have any prescriptions that I'm supposed to take. The medication they put me on caused extremely visual hallucinations. They gave me an... Read more »
You should not be forced to take medications, especially when they are not prescribed by a physician. This violates the 8th Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.

You need to contact a member of the Ky. Trial Lawyers Assn in Louisville who handles malpractice. They give free consults. Without seeing the entire medical record they won't be able to tell you.
I went to a dentist to fill 9 cavities. I was put under a form of anesthesia using tranquilizers. This is used for people who are afraid of the dentist and its called sedation dentistry.

Where can you find a lawyer? You can find a California lawyer on this site, or through your own searches. Do you have a case worth fighting? It's difficult to say based only on these facts.

They lost my drug test they didn't have records on me ( But they called me the day before to confirm) So I could not have the... Read more »
Next time, find a different hospital.
It doesn't appear that you have been damaged monetarily by the hospital's mistakes.
When I contacted the office her assistant told me the doctor has told her to "ignore" all requests for a refill from pharmacies. I have sent two texts and called twice. I am out of my meds at this point, all for hard to treat depression. I have been trying to get refills for two weeks.
This is a question best handled by a Texas attorney, but you await a response for four weeks. I'm sorry for your difficult situation. If the doctor is refusing to refill based on a medical reasoning in support of your best interests, that could provide them with justification. If they do not have a... Read more »

A Washington D.C. attorney would be best qualified to advise, but your post remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, it could depend on whether a jury felt that there was a breach of a duty of a medical/dental standard of care. It seems like it would be a complex and difficult case...

This is something that a California attorney would be able to advise best on, but your post remains open for four weeks. This sounds like it will be a complex and difficult case, because it could possibly require a consultation with an independent dentist to assess the work performed on you. As a... Read more »
It could depend on the arrangement the doctor has with the hospital and the role in which they work (employee, independent contractor, part of group practice, etc.) Some arrangements include reimbursement for premiums. Additionally, different states treat the issue differently. Good luck... Read more »
i suffered and got worse for months until a doctor finally figured out, from the ER's EKG that I had a heart attack, and major blockage. Do I have a negligence or malpractice case?
You could possibly have one. An attorney couldn't offer a definitive answer based on these brief facts alone. But what you describe is the legal theory of "failure to diagnose." As a starting point, you could contact a Nevada medical malpractice attorney to discuss the matter in further detail. If... Read more »
Clot. I was told I didn’t have one. 3 days later with horrible pain. I went to my doctor. I was told St Joseph’s did the wrong ultra sound to find a blood clot. After an ultra sound at St Luke’s I did have a clot. I was sent to St Luke’s emergency room. Do I have a case against St Joseph hospital.
I'm sorry for your ordeal. It's difficult to answer your question based on these brief facts. You could consult with a Kansas med mal attorney who could request your medical records and review them with a medical professional. A jury is not going to go by, "they did the wrong ultrasound." They're... Read more »

Yes, you should be warned about the risks associated with any procedure. You could contact a Colorado attorney to discuss your matter and learn about the doctrine in... Read more »
My Mom went to go get an MRI done & the Technician shoved the earplug in her ear so hard that it ruptured her eardrum causing her to have to go to the ER straight from the MRI place.
Maybe. How do you prove that it was the force of the technician that caused the rupture? Do your mom's medical records reflect this?
They did an ultra sound looking for a blood clot. I was told I didn’t have one. I went to my primary doctor three days later. The pain was getting worse by the day. I said it was a 7 if touched 10. When my doctor got the results from
St Josephs found out they did the wrong ultra sound to... Read more »
There wasn't a question here, but your post remains open for three weeks.

If an attorney felt that... Read more »
Based on the very brief facts, it seems like it could be a difficult case.

This isn't a law firm. It's a question and answer board. But you can find New Jersey lawyers who handle med mal cases. See the Find-a-Lawyer tab. Good luck

A lawyer shouldn't advise you here; a doctor should. You should express your concerns about the impact of such antibiotics on your baby to your doctor. And if your doctor's reasoning for prescribing such pills does not address your concerns, you could seek a second medical opinion. Good luck... Read more »

It could be a case, but like all potential medical negligence cases in Illinois, the entire hospital and medical charts would have to be reviewed. A doctor practicing in the same or similar practice of medicine as those who may be negligent would have to be able to author a certificate of merit... Read more »
