The settlement is reported to be the highest in Illinois for dental malpractice cases not involving death.<\/p>\n<p>It was alleged that the plaintiff, a retired owner of a men\u2019s retail clothing store, contracted clostridium difficile after taking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/medlineplus\/druginfo\/meds\/a682399.html\">Clindamycin<\/a>, an antibiotic prescribed by the dentist during an office visit in 2005.  The dentist prescribed the antibiotic when the plaintiff was paying a visit to his office for a regular cleaning.  A crown had been put in place three weeks before.  The patient then informed the dentist that the crown still bothered him and the dentist determined that it needed a root canal.<\/p>\n<p>The plaintiff\u2019s attorney contended there was no reason to prescribe an antibiotic because there was no infection.  The plaintiff developed bleeding, diarrhea and then went for treatment with a gastroenterologist.  An ileostomy surgical procedure was performed on the plaintiff but failed.  Ileostomy can be temporary or permanent. An ileostomy is a surgically created opening in the small intestine, usually at the end of the ileum. It is the exit of the small intestine to the skin surface. It then was reversed leaving the man incontinent.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/medical-malpractice-lawyer\/illinois_dental_malpractice_ca_1\/#more-331\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A settlement was reached in the amount of $1.25 million in the case of a 75 year old man who allegedly contracted a severe digestive disorder because his dentist unnecessarily prescribed an antibiotic known to cause the condition in some patients.
