Mom's life insurance policy was not near enough to cover her funeral services. And we believe she was given a medication that caused this to happen to our mom. We are speaking with attorneys to get a case started on this A.S.A.P. We will need all the help we can get to get this underway. From the moment she took that pill, She was very sick and got worse every day, She had me do some research on the meds given to her, I found out that there were so many bad side effects to this medicine, that no one in their right mind would take this stuff if they were told of the side effects, which of course, they did not inform her of. one of them being the loss of oxygen... why would any dr. give that to someone with COPD? It wasn't even her Dr. that prescribed it to her, she was off that day, and not only did they prescribe it, but they also gave her the highest dosage of this so-called medicine called Alendronate Sodium Tablets, 70mg, when she is sensitive to most meds. they could have started her on 5mg. I told her not to take it, she said she already did. So we made an appointment to try and have that stuff removed from her system, but she didn't make it that long. She woke up with very low oxygen on that day she went down and never recovered from it, and suffered severe brain damage. We were forced to let our Mom go because she could not live for long without life support. Therefore we are filing a wrongful death or malpractice suit against the doctors that prescribed this garbage to my Mom. Although I am embarrassed to ask, Any help would be appreciated. If anyone wants to do any research on this drug, so that this doesn't happen to you or a loved one, it's called Alendronate Sodium Tablets, 70mg. Side Effects
