I'm looking for an answer as to if I have a wrongful death case against a pharmacy that filled a prescription for narcotics for my husband in 2005. On Feb. 9, 2005 my husband's doc prescribed 50 Valium (10 mg) and 100 Oxycodone for Chronic Pain. The Valium was to last 10 days (an unually high dose according to the pharmacist). On Feb. 15, 2005, my husband called in for a refill. This was 4 days too early, but the doctor faxed in a refill for 150 Valium (10 mg)..the pharmacy filled it!! Why WHY?? First of all, the doc overprescribed to a man who had attempted suicide twice within a year (once in April of 2005 by a Valium overdose and once on Jan. 29, 2005 by slashing his wrists). I feel the doc should have never prescribed these meds so soon after a suicide attempt. It reeks of malpractice, but I've spoken to lawyers who turned me down. PLEASE HELP ME. I am disabled and now a widow. It's not fair and I seek JUSTICE for my husband. Thank you, Jana
