Can I Sue Hospital for Giving Medicine to Pregnant Women??
Question by ldr5455: Can i sue hospital for giving medicine to pregnant women??
I am 7 months pregnant and broke my arm Sunday afternoon. I didn’t want to take any strong medication. Plus i am methadone which is another reason why i couldn’t take a strong narcotic. The hospital gave me nubain, which is still an opiate, and the medication put me instantly in with draw. It was the worst feeling ever and caused me have seizure like chills, the sweats, yawning, runny nose, goose bumps. All withdraw symptoms. This could have cause me to go into labor or possible kill the kid. You should never go through with draw pregnant. The hospital should have known that you cannot give a methadone patient that type of medicine. Especially a pregnant methadone patient. Us there anything i can do about this, i have had these symptoms since Sunday and they are just starting to go away, and i am just lucky nothing happened to my baby…..
The hospital new i was on methadone and knew my dosage. If anyone knows anything about the drug, certian medications cause instant withdraw whether u take them once or 100 times. I asked what the side effects would be and they told me that there were none, and that they have given it others in my situation. hen i talked to my doctor, he told me they never gave it to any one on methadone but had no clue that it caused those immediate symptoms.
this was given to me at the er in the labor n delivery unit of my hospital. I signed no paper work-nothing. It was either nubain or morphine i chose nubain thinking it was better then morphine
