Q: If I was prescribed a drug from an experimental program, but the doctor did not tell
me it was experimental, do I have a case against the doctor?

A: Informed consent means that a health care provider must tell a patient all of the potential outcomes of a procedure, surgical or otherwise, including its benefits and risks. Alternative procedures and other courses of treatment must also be discussed. Every surgical procedure requires the patient's written consent to proceed. Specific definitions of informed consent may vary from state to state, making it imperative to speak to an experienced medical malpractice attorney to determine if you have a viable case.
