It : It sounds like you had a kidney infection with dehydration and severe hypokalemia (potassium of 2.9). Hydrochlorothiazide causes low potassium. I am so sorry that this happened to you and would recommend that you follow up with the pharmacy. It should be a learning experience for them as it sounds like a mistake was made. Please follow up so that they are aware of this.

Unknown: You appear to be asking an opinion but have not provided enough facts to comment. Medical liability issues require a lengthy review of medical records by specialists in related fields. If you can find a lawyer interested in your case, they will investigate it, but unless you have permanent injuries & can prove it was due to the care you received, they won't pursue the case.
