What is the name of your state? Michigan-My mother went in for a hernia surgery on
Jan. 9 , 2008 wed and was up and around within hours and walking. By the next day jan. 10 thursday my mother was having very severe pain, unable to sit up althought her surgeon said she needed to get up and move around or he would need to move her to the nursing home due to needing the room. My mother is 66 years old. My mother told them she was in very very severe pain and was starting to have problems moving, still unable to urinate. Now it is jan. 11 friday My mother still remains in the hospital with severe pain complaining, the surgeon once again is saying he is going to move her to the nursing homes saying it may be her imagination and needs to get tough. Now jan 12 saturday and they finally decide to give her a cat scan. They find nothing but say in the morning they will make arrangements to move to Muskegon Michigan to explore the problem. Now jan. 13 Sunday and they move her to Muskegon. They give her cat scan and rush her into surgery and open her abdomen up. They find the original surgeon ruptured her bowels and didnt notice and closed her up. She now has kidney failure, massive infections, has breathing tube, tube in stomach to remove fluid, she has her bowel removed, a colostomy bag installed, some of her intestines removed and is fighting death. It has been since January 9th and my mother is still in very very bad shape, she just received a pint of blood, has an open wound and has a lung starting to fail, and has also has eating tubes. I am sure i missed alot as i cant really see my mother, just machines. I fly up after she was rushed into the exploratory surgery in Muskegon and am flying back and forth from PA to see her.
I have family there also with her. Does our family have a case against the operating Doctor and the Hospital? Just looking for advice for my mother. If she does survive, she cant afford to live with all of the medical bills as she is on medicare. Anybody have info on something like this. Thanks. Her Son.....What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?
