GP sued for $3 million over antibiotic reaction
Doctor should have checked overseas records in case where patient had a stroke, claim says
A woman is suing her Queensland GP for $3 million for prescribing an antibiotic she says triggered an allergic reaction that allegedly caused a stroke, leaving her unable to work.
It is claimed the GP should have checked hospital records in South Africa from seven years previously, before prescribing the fluoroquinolone-based antibiotic for a urinary tract infection.
