More details to this question:
My son suffered 2 months of debilitating headaches because of his Dr's unwillingness to admit that a medication she put him on could be causing these headaches. I asked 3 times if his medication could be causing the headaches but was always told no, even though it is a known side effect of this medication. He was put through many tests (bloodwork, x-rays, MRI's) to try and rule out what was wrong with him. I finally went to another Dr who (when I asked) immediately looked at his medication and the potential side effects. The new Dr wanted to stay with the current course of treatment prescribed (PT) to see if it helped but after a few days I went back and the new Dr changed his medication prescription. Within 2-3 days his headaches were gone, permanently.

Please understand that by answering your question in this informal forum I am not acting as your attorney. I am not doing anything to protect any legal rights that you have. Medical malpractice cases need to be thoroughly investigated and to know whether you have a viable case, an attorney usually has to obtain and review all of the pertinent medical records and consult an expert.
