@ JimD,

No one gets rich in a class action lawsuit except the lawyers. You’d be lucky to get any money at all out of it. Take it from me, if you are going to file a lawsuit, do it as an individual. And, you should only sue for what is considered fair and reasonable, not to get rich.

JimD,
You can not be exposed to this type of meningitis, it is not contagious. The pharmacy has recalled all of it’s products and turned in their license to the FDA effectively shutting themselves down. There will be lawsuits soon. The local lawyers will not let this opportunity for profit pass them by. Expect a class action lawsuit to cover all those involved. This thing is still running it’s course. Legal action is imminent.

I can’t believe with all of the publicity over this, and whether anyone is infected or not…where are the law suits on this company, and why are they still in business? Just the thought of being a “possible” person that was exposed, or that I was provided an injection from that batch would have me looking for a lawyer.

Please be aware of where you may have had your injections. As previously pointed out, Pain Consultants of Northwest Florida are NOT the as West Florida Hospital. Nor is West Florida Hospital the same as the Medical Center Clinic. Dr. Krueger and associates are not employed by either. However, be assured that the CDC and the medical providers do keep good records of medication providers and at this time, if you have received back injections from other clinics than those specifically noted to have received these specific medications, you should be fine from the meningitis outbreak. If you are worried, I would contact your physician’s office to be certain that they did not purchase their drugs from this specific company. However, the companies and the CDC usually keep very good records of who purchased what medications for treatment

When I first heard of this story they also stated the IRC also received a shipment of a contaminated batch. Is this still true? And @Gayle – west fl hospital and pain consultants of west Florida are two different entities. So hopefully you did not receive a bad batch. You should still get checked anyways, just to be safe.

Im sure this person is going to get help, It is very scary to find this out when I found out I called my Drs office to tell them they was not nice but its just because for over a month she had been telling me nothing is wrong with me I will be going to get checked at the ER though but it was nice to see someone else post who is alsoscared of the unknown.

Ms. Aldridge you need to go get checked. Tell your doctor and not the posters on forum. Good luck.
