1 comment:
Ironically, doctors haven't pushed for laws to limit their liability if they use an FDA-approved "outsourcing facility" to provide compounded medications for administration. (Currently, if a doctor uses an FDA approved drug, the doctor/clinic is not liable should the drug be contaminated/adulterated/misbranded, etc.)
The failure to have such liability protections makes all physicians the "deep pocket" in such lawsuits as the compounding pharmacy is either (1) raided of funds and now bankrupt; or (2) bankrupt because there are just too many claims and not enough "malpractice coverage" to cover the damages (or having a malpractice carrier refuse coverage because the pharmacy was breaking the law by manufacturing when it only had a license to do patient-specific compounding).
So, the doctors in these cases are going to lose big. They bought illegal drugs from a pharmacy who illegally supplied them.
