MEDIA - A Havertown man wants payback from AFC Urgent Care Havertown for alleged medical negligence that caused a stroke.
The complaint was filed by plaintiff Alfred Mile on April 23 in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas. Mile is diabetic and chronically hypertensive, regularly taking three blood pressure medications, the suit says.
On May 5, 2019, Mile visited defendant Dr. Rajesh Patel at the Urgent Care center for dizziness and pain behind his ear as well as high blood pressure. He was diagnosed with an ear infection and other sinus conditions and as prescribed pseudoephedrine, a medication that increases blood pressure and is not recommended for hypertensive patients, the suit says.
