Creedon & Gill partner Peter J. Creedon is litigating a wrongful death case caused not by prescribing the wrong drug, but in failing to discontinue it. The medicine was dexamethasone, a powerful steroid. It was prescribed to a woman in as a when there were conflicting COVID tests. Dexamethasone is a cortecosteroid with strong anti inti-flamatory and imunosuppresant qualities. But it can not be used for long. As our client’s mother was shuffled from Hospital to Nursing Home to Assisted Living Facility the administration of the drug was never stopped, it turned her type 2 diabetes into type 1 diabetes, destroyed her esophagus, and killed her.
