Most prescription medications have some kind of side effect, and doctor's have a duty to inform their patients of the side effects before prescribing them. In a West Palm Beach lawsuit arising from a child's injuries from a prescription drug's side effect's, it is a physician's duty to be informed of the qualities and characteristics of the prescription medications that he or she prescribes, administers, or uses on his or her patients, and to exercise an independent judgment, taking into account his or her knowledge of the patient as well as the product. The patient by the nature of the doctor patient relationship relies on the physician's judgment. However, the physician has discretion in determining what facts should be told to the patient. Therefore, if a medical drug is properly labeled and carries the necessary instructions and warnings to fully apprise the physician of the proper procedures for use and dangers involved, the manufacturer may reasonably assume that the physician will exercise the informed judgment in conjunction with his or her own independent learning, the best interest of the patient. Thus, a physician's duty is to inform his or her patient what a reasonably prudent medical specialist would tell a person of ordinary understanding of the serious risks and the possibility of the serious harm that may occur from the course of therapy, so that the patient may make an intelligent decision regarding his or her treatment and care.
