Neither of which was documented, so it comes down to "Your word against mine" with a chunk of cash as the incentive for lying.

You mean the Dr's word against the widower's, right? The widower was not there and has no first hand information that proves the Dr didn't do as he testified or that the pharmacist didn't do as he testified... only that he did not personally get information on the risks. He was not the patient and was not entitled to recieve information. Without some material or eye witness testimony, he has little to present as evidence accept his skepticism.

I see no reason that Dr's couldn't down load risk information in the office and have the patient sign off on it. Every modern Dr should have this capability. A Dr could forget or overlook one of the risks while consulting with the patient... and they probably do all the time. However, your widower case lacks convictive evidence.

"So maybe this counseling may be more important than you seem to think."

I think its very important. But to make your case we need some health services reform first.
