Physician Injures Patient by Instructing Use of Drug Continuously Rather Than Temporarily

Settlement/Verdict: $250,000.00

Attorney: John W. Carey
Practice Area: Medication Error
Client Injury: Joint Injuries from use of Prednisone

Our client was put on a regimen of Prednisone to increase the effects of chemotherapy. One of the doctors he was seeing inadvertently increased the dosage of Prednisone and ordered that he take it continuously rather than for just one week prior to chemotherapy. As a result, he suffered necrosis of some of his joints. Our client had an unrelated terminal illness with a short life expectancy.
