One of the most common patient encounters ends badly with a malpractice lawsuit:

According to court documents, her doctor, Dr. P.Z. Vora, prescribed Bactrim, an antibiotic containing sulfa.

Instead of helping Rees, the drug eventually killed her.

Herfamily is now suing her Dr. Vora and Walgreens, claiming they should have known about her sulfa allergy from her medical chart.

“I’ve seen a number of cases that are bad, but this physical injury is one of the most harmful I can recall,” said Kinnard.

According to the family’s attorney, the drug reaction caused Rees’ skin to slowly peel off to the point she was unrecognizable.

She died last May.
