What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?Alabama
My grandmother recently passed away and she was under Home Health Care and Hospice Care through the State of Alabama in my mother's home. Four days before she died my mother was talking to one of the nurses and she said to her that she wasn't aware that my grandmother was on a bloodthinner(which was clearly stated in her chart) the nurse told my mom that they were supposed to have been checking her blood every week since she was on the bloodthinner. She had been on it for over 3 months. The nurse took the blood sample and a few hours later someone notified my mother to take her off of the bloodthinner. The next day she started throwing up blood, she was bleeding internally and she died 3 days later. My question is do I need to contact an attorney to get this investigated? I just don't want any other person to be denied the care that they need.
