Re: Malpractice or medical neglect

There are a lot of factors that need to be considered in a medical malpractice case, before an attorney will take a case it usually has to be evaluated by an doctor to see if proper procedures were followed or not. In addition to being a lawyer who handles medical malpractice cases, I also am a Chief Pharmacist so I am well aware of drug issues relating to malpractice cases. If you want please give me a call in the office, I will be out next week on vacation and will be back on July 2nd.
