Description
Before BAUER, Chief Judge, and CUMMINGS and EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judges. EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge. Walker and Sheila Slone live in Galatia, Illinois. On March 2, 1983, they took their young son Chadwick, who had an ear infection, to Kishor Bhatt, a physician in Evansville, Indiana. Dr. Bhatt prescribed Bactrim, a medication with a sulfa base. The prescription was filled by a pharmacy in Harrisburg, Illinois. Chadwick developed a rash, and his parents returned to Indiana on March 14 to visit Douglas Palmenter, Dr. Bhatt's partner. By then Chadwick had severe blisters, and Dr. Palmenter admitted Chadwick to St. Mary's Medical Center in Evansville. Palmenter, Bhatt, and a third physician decided to administer Silvadene slave, another medication with a sulfa base. Chadwick's blistering accelerated, and his skin later sloughed off (this is called Stevens-Johnson syndrome). By March 23 Chadwick was dead.
