CHICAGO — A woman is suing Maria S. Hernandez M.D., Presence Medical Group and Walgreen Co., alleging they were negligent for prescribing and providing medication that harmed her.

Katherine Spruiell filed a complaint on May 23 in Cook County Circuit Court against the defendants alleging she was injured from taking antibiotics prescribed to her. The plaintiff holds Hernandez, Presence Medical Group and Walgreen Co. responsible because they allegedly failed to consider that the prescribed antibiotics would be harmful given the plaintiff's kidney disease.
