I need a lawer who can help me win a wrongful death and medical negligance case. My wife die due to inability of the Doctor to provide the care and using wrong medication, Tygacil (tigecycline).

My daughter has bronchietasis and while hospitalized for abdominal surgery the ID doctor prescribed Tygacil for congestion in her lungs. I told the ID doctor that I had a very bad reaction myself with this drug and he infused her anyway. After 3 doses of this medication my daughter became commatose to the point where rapid response had to respond. They did two EEGs in two days and both came back that she was in a deep comma. Although she ocassionally aware and awake, her brain waves suggest deep comma. I looked on line for this form of reaction and haven’t seen anything like this.

.The day my daughter was to be transferred to Miami Childrens Hospital (MCH)we were told she had acquired another infection caused by Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia and ‘Tygacil” was prescribed. The flight nurse refused to administer this antibiotic saying she did not have the ability to counteract an adverse/allergic reaction should one occur. The treatment plan at MCH was changed to’Levaquin’ & ‘Timentin’ since Enterobacter C. and Sten Malt were sensitive to both. We had been told my daugter had developed D I C a few hours after receiving a second blood transfusion at the other hospital. She received many platelet transfusions & Cryo, FNP, Albumin plus another unit of blood. Timentin was discontinued as it could exacerbate the thrombocytopenia. The Enterobacter had been cleared two days prior. My daughter & I refused ‘Tygacil’ 12/13/10 stating we believed it was contraindicated for her because she had elevated liver enzymes, was receiving hemodialysis. We also explained she had never received anything similar to tetracycline so we were leery of trying it now considering we were told that Levaquin was working very well. Apparently someone decided to disregard our refusal and administered Tygacil after I left to eat in the cafeteria. When I came back I reported my daughter was complaining of a headache than a problem with her left pupil being dilated with blurry vision. The nurse examined her eyes with a flashlight saying her pupils were reactive. I was still concerned. Less than an hour later my daughter was unable to speak, her back seemed stiff but her arms flailed and she was terrified when her throat started to swell & she experienced difficulty breathing. I was crying that my daughter was having an allergic reaction to something and a resident concurred then intubated her. Nurses were able to get a sufficent amount of blood from cutting her fingers & a resident told us her calcium level had dropped & calcium was pushed manually into her PICC/MID line. My daughter’s left eye developed tears & I told her she could go upstairs. Both pupils became fixed & dialated. Three attempts were made to resiciutate her until I pulled the resident away from my daughter’s body. I believe someone killed my daughter.
