Medication Errors
The law requires doctors and health care professionals to prescribe dispense and administer medications correctly. Yet every year patients die or suffer serious injuries because of the carelessness of doctors, nurses or pharmacists in prescribing, dispensing, or administering drugs. The error might result from the doctor's failure be aware of the drug's side effects, a pharmacist's failure to observe a contraindication, or a nurse failure to read a label on a vial. If you believe you or a member of your family was the victim of a medication error you are entitled to answers.
