my son 17 is in ohio detention center he has tourette,ocd,adhd to name a few he is on several different meds.Last week the nurse allowed my son to run out of his clonidine a med he has been taking for 7 years for tourette.I was never notified to refill meds and upon visition one of three times a week I found him to be very ill welts and rash and shaking very disorientated we were then informed the meds had been out for several days he is okay now but suffered for many days. I feel this was a terrible case of negligence his doctor informed me his blood pressure was sky high and the results could have been worse if it went on longer
can anyone give me advice?

I think you should consider placing your son in another more well kept facility. As to the suffering of your child, and the lack of notification on their part about medication running out, you need to contact a medical malpractice attorney to recover both facility fees, and pain and suffering.

This is definitely a case of medical negligence.

My heart goes out to you. To contact a lawyer in medical malpractice, try attorneypages.com or try calling your state bar association and asking for lawyer referral.

It doesn't make a difference as to the lack of health care he received, which could have wound up being life threatening.
