Beware of Zosyn
- Thread starter anonymous
- Start date
hi everyone,
I am an attorney and represent the family of a young man who went to the hospital for gall bladder surgery. his surgery was delayed (long story) and he eventually died about two weeks after surgery. I was looking in to whether the doctors or hospital were negligent and have to come to the conclusion they were not. however, he was placed on Zosyn the first day he came to the hospital and remained on it throughout. His fever remained between 102 and 105 during his hospitalization, yet pathology never was able to identify a bacteria. Am now wondering whether Zosyn had anything to do with his demise. again, I don't think fault can be assigned, because I don't think this is a "known" reaction (outside of this group), and even Wyeth may not be aware of these reactions.... I am looking for some explanation to give the family besides "____ happens", which is pretty much what they got from the doctors.
