Comments on: is this a civil or criminal case, when a medical assistant calls in a Rx for a patient and the patient dies? http://datafindersusa.com/is-this-a-civil-or-criminal-case-when-a-medical-assistant-calls-in-a-rx-for-a-patient-and-the-patient-dies/285/ Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:15:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: gazeygoo http://datafindersusa.com/is-this-a-civil-or-criminal-case-when-a-medical-assistant-calls-in-a-rx-for-a-patient-and-the-patient-dies/285/comment-page-1/#comment-418 gazeygoo Sat, 25 Jul 2009 14:44:51 +0000 http://datafindersusa.com/is-this-a-civil-or-criminal-case-when-a-medical-assistant-calls-in-a-rx-for-a-patient-and-the-patient-dies/285/#comment-418 <a href=""></a> Well, to begin with the medical assistant would not be calling in a prescription without an order from the doctor, this would be prescribing without a license. If that actually occurred this medical assistant has a LOT of problems to cope with. This would then become a criminal case.

People die, I don't see the correlation between alleged neglect and your person dying. How would the medical assistant know? How would the pharmacist know of an allergic reaction? It's unfortunate, but I wouldn't count on becoming rich.

Definite civil possibilities too - wrongful death

The criminal side would be dispensing a prescription without a license and practicing medicine without a license. That is unless we're talking about a nurse-practitioner which is a different story. As for the civil side, its called negligence. This is all assuming of course that the doctor did not know anything about it and the assistant was acting on his or her own volition.
