Florida.... Physicians Assistant refused to accept DSM diagnosis and forced person into un-needed medications and caused set back in treatment? can he be sued for malpractice? also can hospital be held responsible for allowing him to treat patients?
You need to be very clear on what this PA did.
You need to be very clear on what state board allows a PA to do.
To prevail in a malpractice case, you need to show:
The treatment was below the standard of care. a PA treating differently, on their own, from what a doctor prescribed might very well be below the standard of care, by definition.
They must have caused you damage/harm by their act. From your quote you seem clear that this happened.
There must be a financial component. That you will need to quantify and be prepared with documentation to support the financial component.
Sounds like you might need to talk to a malpractice attorney, and if you do that have the documents readily available to show the lawyer the problem, the harm and the financial loss.
