My brother's doctor has been taking him off some of his medications. As a result, my brother had to go the emergency room. The ER doctor gave my brother a letter for his physician saying that in his opinion, it would not be a good idea to discontinue the meds and perhaps substitute some of the meds. Otherwise, the result could be seizures or stroke. When my brother gave the letter to his doctor, the doctor thew it on a chair and said, I'm not prescribing you anything! Less than a week later, my brother had a stroke. Does he have grounds for a medical malpractice/negligence suit Thanks for any help offered.

Less than a week later, my brother had a stroke. Does he have grounds for a medical malpractice/negligence suit My brother had to do a urinalysis for this doctor at one time and it came up positive for marijuana. Ever since then, there has been a big difference in the doctor's attitude with him telling my brother You do drugs.
Thanks for any advice offered.

Confer with a lawyer specializing in medical malpractice.
There may be a ground for medical malpractice. To ascertain more, second opinion from a much-qualified doctor is necessary.

Confide your case to a medical malpractice lawyer in your area to assess more clearly your options.
Facts are wanting, yah second opinion from a medical authority is primordial.Whatever may be the findings could spell the available course of action.

Foremost, it would be wise to have your specific factual situation analyzed by an attorney in your jurisdiction.



Promptly, do this, while rights are still in tact.


Many lawyers offer a free or low-cost initial consultation just for the purpose of determining whether they can help you.
