Navigating a Malicious Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

A patient signed a six-month service agreement with my former company on June 19, 2018. On June 29, 2018, we first spoke. She was hospitalized on August 8, 2018, after returning from vacation, for flu-like symptoms and a tick-borne infection that was accompanied by a momentary increase of liver enzymes.

On August 9, 2018, she was released from the hospital with transaminitis as her diagnosis. When she was discharged, a note from her PCP advised canceling the contract because it was quite possible that the drug I had prescribed had damaged her liver. The momentary rise of liver enzymes is not in question. I seriously doubt iatrogenic liver injury. I suggested that the patient end her contract after seeing the note.
