I want to know about New York’s patient rights when it comes to informed consent and medication (side effects).
In New York, informed consent involves:
- Patients must receive comprehensive information about the treatment, including risks, benefits, and alternatives.
- Consent must be obtained before any medical procedure or treatment.
- Patients should be informed of potential side effects of medications.
Do you have specific concerns or a situation related to these rights?
If a minor was subjected to the chemical affects of SSRISs, Antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and stimulants; all of which left lifelong irreversible damage from side effects that weren’t told to them, are they able to sue?
In New York, minors can potentially sue for medical malpractice if they were not properly informed about the risks and side effects of medication, especially if those side effects caused lifelong damage. It may be essential to prove that the healthcare provider failed to obtain informed consent. To better assist, would you like to be connected with local lawyers who can help with your case?
Sure. Though before you do that, could you tell me how something like this could be proved?
