Are your Indianapolis medications causing more pain and misery?

Medical malpractice not only covers injuries, but also medication errors. According to a CNN story, Alesandra Rain was a victim of medication errors. Her general practitioner prescribed sleeping pills for insomnia. The medication worked fine until Rain developed bronchitis and lung infections shortly afterward. She then sought out a pulmonologist, who prescribed her an antibiotic.

Rain then started to notice her heart acting irregularly and skipping beats. She was referred to a cardiologist, who gave her yet another prescription to treat arrhythmias.

She then started having seizures and started to take medications a neurologist prescribed. As the prescriptions failed, her symptoms started to cycle, and she soon was in a psychiatrist's office for depression.

The problem was Rain was on too many prescribed medications that were adversely interacting. To avoid this problem, the different specialists Rain had seen should have conducted phone calls to each other to understand Rain's background and medical history so an appropriate intervention could have been prescribed to relieve symptoms and avoid the development of new symptoms.
