Kristi,
You have got to be kidding... Has this really happened to you? I am so terribly sorry. Yes, it does seem clear that your case is in no way "difficult" to call malpractice. Is the difference simply between the large drug company & a lone, incompetent doctor?
They could also just as easily have claimed that this guy NOT taking his Paxil would have caused him to go homicidally bonkers. Just flip a coin, guys...
Again, Kristi, you have my sympathy and best wishes for a huge settlement check...
Wendy
> Amazing. How can they prove something like that? I don't get it... just like I don't get that whole MCDonalds suit. I had breast surgery, the surgeon left a hand towel sized "undetectable" cloth inside my chest. For years she was telling me the pain was in my head, along with other doctors because nothing showed up in exrays. A doctor just decided to "go in and look".... and wala. This cloth has been in so long it's embedded into my sternum and muscles. Major deformaties for life. Now... wouldn't you think that was slam dunk malpractice? Yet I'm having terrible trouble with MY lawsuit. I just don't see justice anymore. Sorry... had to vent.
