    Default Denial of Medicine

    My question involves medical malpractice in the state of: Indiana
    I was incarcerated in a state Department of corrections facitlity. During the first 3-4 weeks, they wouldn't give me my medicine I take for depression (It is a service connected disability) I made numerous requests to see the pychiatrist, and kept getting told either I wasn't on the meds (Hey, no kidding, thats why I made the requests) OR that they would get to me as soon as the could. The facility I was in was a processing facility & we were locked in cells for 23 hrs/day usually. Is there anything I can do? Thanks

    Well, I was denied medication that I need to take everyday, to keep me from falling into a deeper depression that I had been taking for years. I dont even know if it would be malpractice or if I have to file a torte claim

    I wasn't being cute.

    For a lawyer and a court to take your case seriously, you have to show that you have been materially damaged by the actions of another.

    What are your damages? If you just say that you were temporarily depressed but are now fine, you really will have a difficult time.
