If the medical assistant exceeded their express authority, then it may be both a criminal and a civil matter. Contact me directly.
Re: Respondeat Law/Tort
IF there was provable medical injury and damage as a result of an incorrect prescription, then you might have a civil case for malpractice. If so, feel free to contact me if serious about pursuing this.
There's no such thing as a 'criminal lawsuit'. IF the prosecutor feels a crime was committed, then criminal charges would be brought by them against whoever did the 'wrong'.
