Bad Doctor???

Telling them he thinks he has meningitis is not the same thing as having clinical signs of meningitis. What was his temp when he presented at the ER? Did he have a headache? If so, what ws it like....... You have not given any symptoms of meningitis and no proof that he had it. You don't want a LP if you don't need it.

He did have anemia and it needed to be treated and he was dehydrated, that needed to be treated.

When he went into the hospital he had a low grade temp between 99-100. Yes he told me that he had a severe headache a crushing type the way he described it. what signs are you looking for, severe headache, stiff neck, to the point where he was unable to move it, severe back, shoulder and hip pains with no history of fall or trauma.

Did any of those s/s get written in the chart either through triage or initial intake on the floor upon admission?

not sure its my understanding that once a person dies the files are sealed, haven't checked, if not how do I get them?

Do not quote me, but the executor of the estate might be able to, or you could petition the court to have the records released, throw that one to JETX or YAG or IAAL, they would know...
I would almost bet they will say GET a LAWYER, as we have all told you....
