Question: Can continued use of clonazepam, tamsulosin, baclofen, gabapentin, morphine sulf, along with large injections of didlaudid, valium, torodel and a morphine pump with a catheter not attached to the spine and severe pain and stress cause heart damage such as inferior infarction, anterior ischemia and anterior T wave changes and result in death. All of this over a period of approx 4 years.

Thank you. What is and causes Ischemia. He did not have high blood pressure and no indications of any kind of heart problems. The only way I know abt the heart is from the ECG's taken in the ER, which I did not receive until after he passed away. We were never told. He always thought he had indigestion and would eat Tums. So just to be clear, you are telling me that severe pain, narcotics and stress does not have any effect on the heart?

Thank you very much, yes this answers what I wanted to know. Do you mind if I ask one more question? Not sure how to ask this, however, the combination of the medications, particularly the clonazepam 1mg 2-3 times per day or more cause sudden cardiac arrest with his heart condition? To be very honest with you, the coroner DID NOT ORDER ANY TOXICOLOGY AND DID NOT DO AN AUTOPSY. The coroner also refused to talk to me or review any medical records. Do to the medications found he put "sudden cardiac arrest due to prescription drugs" on the death certificate, due to suicide. My husband was a God fearing man, he would not take his life. The police confiscated all meds and due to the prescription and amount of pills left, all were accounted for except the clonazepam which out 90 there were 70 left.

Thanks again. Unfortunately, since the coroner did not order an autopsy, if I wanted one done, I would have had to pay for it upfront my self. I did not have the money to do that, there was no life insurance on him and he was cremated. The coroner stated that the blood had clotted is why he did not do toxicology but I know that it can also be done by hair or finger nails. I have talked to several law firms as far as medical malpractice and no one will take it because it is not a high dollar case. I have one more firm I am going to try. However, as far as the coroner goes I had made some inquiries and even sent him a certified letter with legal terms which were given to me by an attorney and got no where except our City attorney sent me an email stating that there was a detailed investigation done, which is not the case. The coroners office never even followed up with the police on their findings. I haven't been able to find a law firm to take on the coroner case. I don't have funds to hire an attorney. Thank you so much for talking to me. I just want some justice for my husband. Thanks again.

I realize your expertise. One more question, I promise. If I find a law firm am I allowed to use any or all of the information you have provided to me. I'm asking because I have read the disclaimer and just want to ask you. Thanks again. You have been more helpful to me than any one else.
