violation of patient rights
Hi,
I recently gave birth in a hospital via c-section. I was administered potocin without my knowledge or consent and I feel my rights were violated. IS there any legal action I can take. I know that hospital have a time out rule that before any procedure/medicine is given to a patient they are required to explain the risks or benefits of that medical intervention. Somehow the drug got in me without my consent even after I spoke with my dr regarding this at a previous office visit that I did not want any intervention because I wanted to minimize my risks of a c-section.
Please let me know thanks
