Getting a complaint, or especially a lawsuit, to be taken seriously can be very hard. The courts seem to only hold doctors responsible for stuff that is totally avoidable such as operating on the wrong knee or something equally stupid. When I first got sick, I had a doctor say that it was a sleep disorder. He put me on ambien. It almost killed me. I thought about suing just because I thought that somebody needed to stop that doctor. The lawyer said that there was no real grounds to sue him on. Now that ambien has a "don't use with MG" label, it would be something you could approach. Back then, they wouldn't try.
Ironically, and very sadly, the doctor really did believe in what he was doing. He thought that everybody needed to be on sleep aids. Sadly, he recently died in his sleep, most likely from his own medicine.
