According to some reports, drugs that relieve Parkinson’s symptoms may also trigger odd urges: jet skiing up the coast, collecting toys or gambling compulsively.

Like other Parkinson’s medicines, Mirapex can bolster the fading supply of a critical brain chemical called dopamine. But as many as 1 in 15 patients taking the drugs — potentially thousands of people — may have compulsive reactions, such as gambling.

Drug makers say they are monitoring reports but so far the rate of compulsions does not exceed that of the general population. One company chalked up complaints to coincidence.

Los Angeles has hundreds of highly respected law firms handling cases of personal injury. Many are one-man operations, but there are larger firms as well. Regardless of the size, most are competent, and dedicated to obtaining the best deals for their clients either through settlements or through trial and verdict.

Millions of prescriptions have been written for drugs that some people say have led them to compulsively overeat, obsess about sex, and gamble away their life savings.

According to the 2003 annual report from the US Department of Health and Human Services, 10,403 physicians, 105 nurses and 1499 dentists from Michigan were involved in medical malpractice payments for the period 1990-2003.

Many legal malpractice claims share common allegations/themes that can be avoided if law firms have the proper risk management measures in place.

Medical Malpractice is a serious issue. Every day people get improper treatment resulting in numerous negative outcomes. The medical society has sworn an oath to provide the best medical care to their patients. Unfortunately, we all are human and mistakes are made.
