How Do I Get My Wife Off Drugs?

Posts Tagged ‘hospital’

A hospital said that my wife was using drugs based on a preliminary drug screen later after the confirming test it showed that she was negative for all drugs with the exception of a drug the hospital itself administered. This kind of mistake almost cost my wife and I are two little girls, our marriage, her college funds, and eligibility for state aid. I would like to sue them but don’t know on what grounds that would be or for how much.

Don’t know what kind of lawyer handles this and is there a way to deal with this without an attorney.
I don’t understand how this is a crazy lawsuit and the emotional distress is plenty enough. Plus my wife is not allowed unsupervised care of her children. So it is not an almost she lost her children and I have temporary full custody of them. I’m not trying to get a huge sum of money I just believe that the hospital should not be allowed to do something like this and expect us to suffer for their stupidity

Doctor: Veterans get hooked, not healed, at VA hospital
Two doctors who worked at the Hampton VA Medical Center say powerful narcotics are being over prescribed to veterans there, leaving them addicted while their underlying medical conditions go untreated. The doctors have warned that the high volume of narcotics may be feeding a pipeline of dangerous drugs that are illegally resold in the community, with potentially fatal results.

My wife and I took ecstasy the other night at a friends house. We do have a 8 month old baby, but we left him with the in laws for a night so we could have a night out. Anyways, this was our first time with X, and then the next night we smoked Salvia, which is legal. now, my wife is going to the hospital because she cant hold any food down and she feels sick. I personally do not think it is because of the x or the salvia, I think it is because she has not eaten anything in like 3 days, except like 6 cookies and an apple. I know this sounds bad, but we have food, lots of it, we are just both too lazy to cook it, so we snack in stead or order out. but she did not join in on the last two order outs, because she did not feel like eating. SOOOOOO She is going to inform the doctor that she did take ecstasy and salvia and that she has not eaten so the doctor knows every fact. I am worried that because we have a baby the doctor will inform the law. Is this a valid worry.
P.S. Please try to find a link, so that I know its not hear say. or if you are in a position of law. We live in California and she is 21.
I would like to thank you who gave an answer. First of all, to all of you who came down on us for using the drugs, you can bite my ass. We decided as adults that we were not endangering our family what so ever. My wife just got back from the hospital and the doctor told her that she was dehydrated (possibly from the x, but in his words “dehydration from x is as common as from alcohol” and other then that neither drug made her sick. And the thing about not cooking, thats just a given with us, not due to drugs, we have never been in the mood for cooking. The baby is fed by bottle and he is always fed and changed. Any body who has never tried drugs has no right to pass judgement. My family is fine, and you know what, we will do X again. thanks for all the help.
