Complaint Filed Against Edina Medical Group
Parnell Medical Group in Edina, Minnesota, is the subject of a complaint involving medical negligence filed recently with the state. Parnell Medical Group, which opened last year, specializes in treating impotence.
The complaint states that patients were subjected to painful complications after the clinic administered drugs for erectile dysfunction. Local urologists who tended to the patients said Parnell’s doctors administered larger doses of the drugs than were appropriate, and lacked the ability to treat the ensuing complications. Patients were treated for painful priapism in local emergency rooms.
Physicians authoring the complaint say Parnell does not meet the proper standard of care, and that they are taking advantage of men hoping to find an effective treatment for impotence. Parnell’s actions, they say, were inappropriate and irresponsible, leading to intense discomfort and embarrassment for their patients.
Parnell claims the addition of a new urologist to head their clinic has corrected any issues the clinic might have had. However, public documents show this doctor has been disciplined for alcoholism recently by the medical board.
Pursuing recompense for medical negligence can involve highly personal information.
