ONLY 2,400? –
July 22, 2022 – Graves, who is joined in the lawsuit by his wife, Sandi Jo, claims he was hospitalized several times after receiving his final prescription from Titus on Sept. 21, 2020 — shortly before the physician was charged with multiple felony counts over alleged unlawful prescribing — and that he continued to require medical care for his addiction to the opioids prescribed by Titus, according to the legal filing.
In the court document, Graves claims that Titus “acted wantonly, recklessly and negligently by prescribing extreme amounts and combinations of dangerous and addictive narcotic medications without medical justification.”
The filing also notes that Titus failed to recognize the signs and symptoms of addiction, failed to wean Graves from the “deadly narcotic medications” when he “knew or should have known of the severe risk of harm that would result,” and that Titus was “solely and exclusively” responsible for the addiction. As such, Graves and his wife are demanding at least $100,000 in damages.
