What is the name of your state? Mass
I am going to try to make this simple and facts only
1. person had a stent placed into thier leg ended up with blood ifection
was treated with IV antibotics for 4 weeks sent home on antibotics
2. about 3-4 weeks later....
person now weak and fell
complaining of pain in back and shoulders
first trip to hospital tests show nothing broken.
person goes home with pain pills
few days later to much pain goes back to hospital still nothing shows
next trip person in CHF
finally admitted in to hospital complaining still of severe back pain
4 or 5 days later diagnosised with compressed fracutre in back
many tests done find out person has infection may be in heart more tests done... antibotics started by IV
person able to walk with help, to bathroom, suddenly becomes bowel/bladder incontient , stops moving legs, (person had involuneterly leg movements)
behavior changes, severe pain ,
trys to get out of bed and slips on their butt to floor (signs person losing paralysis)
antibotic therapy may have been stoped here...not sure
hospital sends her to another hospital for surgical eval
no antibotic IV running
after tests done at this new hospital find out person is now paralized and has an ifection in spinal cord, 2 broken vertabra
has surgury family told very high risk may not make it
now recovering
is there any malpractice here? person will need lots of care now
infection still in the front of the spine and in back.
there are more facts but I will wait for a response
thank you in advance for you responses
