Tina Holstein gave birth to her third child in October 2007 at Community General Hospital in Syracuse, New York.  After the delivery, Holstein felt ill and began vomiting.  A nurse at the hospital administered an intramuscular injection to help her feel better.  Later, Holstein discovered that she had developed permanent damage to her sciatic nerve.

Holstein sued both the nurse and Community General Hospital for failing to properly administer the injection resulting in permanent injury.  The medical malpractice case against the nurse was dropped, but Holstein recently received $1.69 million in damages from Community General Hospital.

Medical abandonment occurs when doctors terminate their relationships with patients illegally. For patients to prove medical abandonment, they must often show that two events occurred. 

One, before the termination, the doctor was treating the patient and had a duty to continue. If this is shown, then the patient must also show that the treatment was terminated before completion. 

If you have questions about your medical abandonment case, contact the Racine medical malpractice lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874. 

Millions of people every week go to the pharmacy. When they receive their prescriptions, they generally believe that the drug types and dosage instructions are correct. 

While most pharmacists are diligent and careful when filling prescriptions, some of them make mistakes. When these mistakes occur, the people taking these drugs could be seriously injured. 

One way for a person to prevent pharmacist's mistakes is to write down the details of the prescription before dropping off the prescription. Once the drugs are picked up, that person can then double check to make sure that the dosage, type, and instructions are correct. 

If you or anyone you know has received a mistaken prescription, contact the Racine pharmacy error attorneys of Habush, Habush, & Rottier at 800-242-2874.

When you go to the hospital or to your doctor, you should have full disclosure. Your health care provider must tell you everything that you need to know. This includes the risks of any procedures or medications you might undergo or use.

If a doctor does not explain the  risks involved in a procedure, you will not be able to make an informed decision about it. This often leads to terrible injuries and in some cases, the death of the patient.

If you or someone you know has been injured by this sort of negligence, contact the Racine lack of informed consent lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier, SC at 800-242-2874.

In Dane County, a medical malpractice case ended with the family of a now 8 year old girl being awarded $17.3 million. The case, led by attorney Dan Rottier, was based on a botched surgery the girl underwent in June 2007.

The girl was severely injured during the operation and is now confined to a wheelchair. Permanent brain damage has left her unable to speak so she now communicates by blinking her eyes. The damage done by the surgery is irreversible.
