I post frequently on the danger of impaired drivers, and specifically the dangers from impaired truck drivers. Not much surprises me anymore, this one did: 

The Courier-Journal

A Mississippi truck driver was arrested Thursday morning after Kentucky State Police found two active methamphetamine labs in the sleeper portion of his truck during a traffic stop on Interstate 71 in Carroll County.

Bobby K. Mitchell, of Myrtle, Miss., was charged with speeding, driving under the influence, manufacturing methamphetamine, unlawful possession of methamphetamine precursors, possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, according to a release from Kentucky State Police in Campbellsburg.

Police received erratic driving reports about the northbound truck around 10:30 a.m.

After a trooper pulled the vehicle over at the 43-mile marker, Mitchell was determined to be under the influence and a search of the truck followed. Police said Mitchell was cooking methamphetamine while he was driving.

The truck was hauling furniture, police said.

A state police hazardous materials technician responded to the scene and seized the labs.

Mitchell is being held in the Carroll County Detention Center, police said.

PA personal injury lawyers console & Hollawell represented the plaintiff in this case. While we wish we could return to delete time, avoiding that this incident and other events like this occur each, we can not. While nothing will ever bring our client son back, we hope that the settlement got sends a clear message to physicians and health professionals, who are authorised to require that they responsibly and not have to do this.

Displayed pattern of medical malpractice

One of the defendants, a family doctor, started in June 2005 for back pain after a motor vehicle accident treatment of the son of our customers. The doctor, who claimed that he was "Pain Management", was certified in pain management, nor had he been specifically trained in this discipline. The treatment of "Pain Management" let by the testimony of doctor's prescribing very large amounts of narcotics. In 2006 the care of a psychiatrist for depression sought by his pain our son client. Despite the fact that the client of our son both doctors said he suffered from asthma, she prescribed excessive amounts of drugs Oxycontin Percocet and xanax, which it is known that to suppress the respiratory tract.

The amount of drugs prescribed in dosage, quantity, thickness and frequency, increases until the son of our customers, died October 7, 2007.

The doctor not he run all diagnostic tests to determine the cause of the patient, and repeatedly required completely new batches of pills just a few days original recipes were filled according to the. This, he ignored the signs that the patient to the medications was hooked, or abuse was.

Despite the fact that, that he was told the patient in treatment with several other medical professionals, the psychiatrist ordered not medical records of patients, and knew therefore diagnosis or medication required by the other by other doctors.

Neither doctor tried to manage other interventions apart from drugs of the patient pain and both ignored the signs of serious side effects and health problems, by the drugs, such as the weight gain and fluid retention, the organ failure, which eventually killed their patients. The doctors prescribed instead more narcotic drugs.

Our client son autopsy showed that he died a death of a negative response to narcotic prescription medication. Specialist general practitioner and pharmacist, which reviewed the case testified that the care that was careless, frivolous and outrageous of the both doctors.

FDA allows drugs on the market without key data

FDA allows drugs on the market without key data

server temporarily unavailable

Denke, dass es kompliziert hat, um eine neue pharmazeutische Droge, die in Verkehr gebrachten zu erhalten? Denken Sie wieder. Ein neuer Bericht zeigt nur etwa die Hälfte der neuen Verordnungmedikationen, die in den letzten zehn Jahren in den USA eingeführt wurden die entsprechende Informationen an die US Food und Drug Administration (FDA), aber die FDA eingereicht, die Medikamente auf den Markt gehen trotzdem genehmigt waren.

Die Informationen, die der FDA zur Verfügung gestellt werden soll heißt vergleichende Wirksamkeit Daten, und es sollte ein kritischer Faktor für ob ein Medikament zugelassen und an die Öffentlichkeit verkauft werden sollte. In einfachen Worten können die Daten die FDA, die wissen, wie das neue Medikament im Vergleich zu anderen Behandlungen bereits auf dem Markt. Ferner werden, ob die neue Droge vorteilhafter ist, und ob es sicherer ist. Diese neuen Informationen über die FDA-lax-Methode der Genehmigung neuer Medikamente war Teil einer Studie nur in den 4. Mai veröffentlicht Ausgabe der Zeitschrift der American Medical Association (JAMA).

Neue Kind auf dem Block

Nachdem ein neues Medikament auf den Markt gebracht ist, dauert es eine Weile für Berichte über Reaktionen, Nebenwirkungen und Todesfälle zu kommen von Menschen, die tatsächlich das Medikament verwenden. Ärzte Vertrauen viel auf die Informationen, die sie von der pharmazeutischen Unternehmen und von der FDA.

Wenn die Forscher Beweise für vergleichende Wirksamkeit Daten über kürzlich verabschiedeten Drogen untersucht, fanden sie, dass nur etwa die Hälfte der 197 förderfähigen zugelassenen Drogen zwischen 2000 und 2010 vergleichende Wirksamkeitsdaten zum Zeitpunkt hatte, die sie genehmigt wurden, in den Verkehr gebracht werden.

In einer neueren Studie von der Harvard University und der University of California fanden Forscher Beweise dafür, dass ein Medikament zur Behandlung von bipolaren Störung seinen Weg auf den Markt mit nur einer klinischen Studie dahinter gefunden. Die Ergebnisse der klinischen Studie wurden zugunsten der Droge verzerrt, und der Droge-Hersteller gesponsert der Studie.

Fehlerhafte Produkte

Es gibt eine Reihe von Möglichkeiten, dass Pharmaunternehmen die Öffentlichkeit mit ihren Produkten verletzen können, aber die gängigste Methode kann irreführende und sogar betrügerische marketing-Methoden beinhalten. Pharmazeutische Unternehmen oft fördern Drogen für nicht genehmigte Zwecke oder Unterschätzung Nebenwirkungen in Fernsehwerbung. Pharmazeutische Unternehmen marketing-Methoden umfassen auch häufig Verwendung von marginalen medizinischen Fachzeitschriften, die wenig mehr als Werbung Foren für Medikamentenhersteller sind. Die FDA ist die wichtige öffentliche Kontrollinstanz die Öffentlichkeit zu schützen, damit man, dass diese neuen Enthüllungen motivieren die FDA hoffen würde, Abhilfemaßnahmen zu ergreifen.

The following is a guest post by premier law group, a Seattle car accident law firm:

Persons driving under the influence often cause terrible accidents. Every year in the United States, it is understandable that drunk driving the lime light takes in car accident discussion with 2 million alcohol-related accidents.

Defective prescription drugs can lead to serious injury

Defective prescription drugs can lead to serious injury

Utopian images of the effects of prescription drugs on people's lives seems everywhere these days, including magazine and television show. We find among older people jogging through the Park on a warm summer's day or other scenes of the rest.

Television show seem to indicate that these scenes take prescription drugs are and that there no adverse effects. The only reference to the dark side of many prescription drugs in this TV show is a quick blurb fine print at the bottom of the screen and in a font that is hardly readable. What this show is not open to do that it thousands of pending based on the dangerous effects of this medication. Montlick and Associates, lawyer, we represent those of defective drugs in very Georgia injured. Our lawyers dangerous drug will use best endeavours, in order to receive the compensation you deserve.

The Department of health and human services estimates that more than half of all Americans take regularly at least a prescription drug. Regularly, one of six Americans take three or more drugs to treat of a variety of conditions. It is no wonder to keep drug manufacturers from new drugs on the current. The majority of these drugs makes life better and provide important health benefits, but to profits increase drug manufacturers sometimes not adequately test their drugs, offer to warn sufficient quality control or consumers of dangerous side effects.

The most prescription drugs have some side effects, and many serious side effects, which can cause serious injury including liver damage, dangerous blood clot issues, myocardial infarction, pulmonary injury and even death. Sometimes serious medical conditions caused by the failure of the pharmaceutical companies adequately consumers about dangerous drug interactions or excessive dosage of presence of the active ingredient in several medications to advise. (The active ingredient in Tylenol) acetaminophen overdoses are, for example, the cause of liver failure. Many people mix pain prescription medications which included never realize the potential risk of liver failure with cold over-the-counter medicines such as Tylenol acetaminophen.

There are many examples of dangerous drugs on the market for years despite medical studies, indicating that serious health risks. The contraceptive YAZ had millions of women years because they were not aware of medical studies had revealed a serious risk of heart attacks and strokes. Seroquel is associated with an increased risk of diabetes. The pain medicine Darvocet, which has since 1957 on the market, was recently recalled because it caused dangerous heart abnormalities. Phenytoin, an anti seizure medicine, has to burn as literally the skin of people in some cases. These are just some examples of dangerous drugs, which remained on the market despite medical evidence of serious health risks.

When people suffer from serious side effects and injuries, pain and suffering and lost, they can result due to the dangerous side effects of prescription drugs, a claim against the manufacturer of which have dangerous drug. If there are a large number of people who suffer from all similar side effects, can be also installed a class action lawsuit.

Many pharmaceutical companies come under fire for lavish new drugs on the market without sufficient clinical trial determine that the drug safely, or for the use of marketing, the off-label-promotes used, which are not, as well as marketing were approved, which minimizes the risk of side effects. If you or a love one by the dangerous side effects of prescription injured has drugs, consult with the Atlanta and Georgia defective drug lawyers Montlick and associates to discuss your legal rights to compensation.
