Several things... 1. To admonish the responsible party for causing this emotional pain. 2. Get reimbursed the $400.00 3. Make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again!
I know there are allot of problems with doctor shopping but this does not excuse what they put my wife and I through. Some may think no big deal she got her charges dropped but for us we are law abiding citizens that had never been arrested before and it was quite traumatic and embarrassing for us and I just feel more caution needs to be taken before falsely arresting a person and putting through this kind of ordeal.
I'm not saying it's not a big deal - it's obviously a very big deal to you!
However, I'm not sure there's anything you can do about what was, clearly, something of an innocent mistake. She wasn't falsely arrested in the legal sense of the term; the detective was only doing his job and the physician made a mistake. The result was unfortunate, but actionable? I'm doubtful.
By all means though, have a chat with a local attorney - you might want to start with Personal Injury attorneys.
I'm also very sorry for your loss.
I just feel when I make a mistake I have to pay for it so even though the doctor did not intentionally do something wrong, a wrong was still committed and I feel that doctor's think there inconvenience is worth more than anyone else. I didn't mean to say the officer falsely arrested her but meant she was falsely accused which lead to an arrest. I agree the officer was doing his job and I could see if during his investigation it showed repeated attempts to obtain medication from multiple doctors but to arrest a person for a one time event seems like a little more investigation work was due. And then before he could get the warrant for the arrest it had to go through the state attn. who should have said this is flimsy we need more info before we approve an arrest. Just seems the ball was dropped allot and a better job could be done by all involved.
I have my doubt of even getting an apology from the doctor or the state attn. but I still want to try for my wife!
Thank You
