85 year old father has acute kidney failure directly following colonscopy. Is a biopsy the only way to prove it is malpractice?

My Father had kidney levels of 1.6 prior to a colonoscopy and should never have taken Fleet Phospho-soda prescribed by his doctor, who SHOULD have known of the serious danger in his particular case. Immediately after the colonoscopy his kidney levels were 2.7+. What can he do without having a dangerous and potentially more harmful biopsy to prove malpractice? Please advise. He can use some help.

Only a medical doctor can opine as to whether malpractice has been done in a particular case. A medical doctor would have to decide what needs to be done to prove malpractice.
We malpractice attorneys, have to use expert witnesses such as medical malpractice to provide that malpractice has been done. Sorry about your father. Norm

You should quickly locate an attorney in San Francisco who specializes in medical malpractice, and expect to provide your father's medical records, and to pay for a doctor to review the records and give an opinion as to malpractice. These kinds of things cannot be done in this forum. Good luck.
