QUESTION
Hospital Physicians failed to diagnose drug side effects causing serious health issues
Asked on Apr 30th, 2017 on Medical Malpractice - South Carolina
More details to this question:
I was admitted to hospital thru emergency room for Facial Numbness & severe tremors in right arm & extremely high blood pressure. After extensive testing 5 doctors failed to find cause. After 2 days in hospital I was released. I had recently started taking Singulair & did research online & found I was suffering from side effects from this drug. Not only had I informed the doctors at the hospital that I had recently started taking this prescription drug & they all stated it could not be the cause but they also continued to administer it while I was in the hospital.

You do not mention how you were damaged by this. Hopefully, you are OK. If you suffered no damages, it is unlikely that the cost of litigation is worth much money. That said, you should take your records to a medical malpractice attorney for a case evaluation. Not taking a patient off prescribed medication is not necessarily a breach of the standard of care. This answer neither constitutes legal advice nor creeates a lawyer/client relationship.
