woman alleges she was given the wrong prescription at a New Orleans pharmacy
Is it only me.. but.. doesn’t it seem strange that a chronic pain pt can be turned away – refused to have a medically necessary medication filled – and this is different than giving a pt the wrong medication… and the first situation has no consequences… no attorney will even discuss the issue.. but in this particular case… a pt given the wrong dose… and the pt is seeking to “be made whole” …The plaintiff is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
Although both patients can suffer harm/damages… only the latter is significant enough for an attorney to seek legal redress ?
NEW ORLEANS – A woman alleges she was given the wrong prescription at a New Orleans pharmacy.

Always check your prescriptions for not only the right drug but the proper count BEFORE leaving the counter! I have been given the wrong persons prescription, the wrong medication and far fewer pills than the prescription and bottle state! “Mistakes” can be and are made especially for medications for pain and anxiety!
