I have now got like 6 medications I take every day and I worry a lot about mixing drugs and whether side effects will hurt me. Has anyone ever sued and won a case about too many meds, or the wrong meds, or anything like that?

Editor's Response
Absolutely. You are describing a subset of medical malpractice cases known as medication error cases, and such claims are recognized by Massachusetts law. Professional liability (hospitals, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc.) can arise in many different ways when medications are involved. For example, a doctor might prescribe a pill that interacts dangerously with medications already prescribed, or a nurse might give a patient medications intended for the patient's roommate. Good luck, and please tell your friends about The Forum.
