What is the name of your state?KY
My wife went in for a D&C and the Doctor almost killed her. He told me that he didn't even do the whole procedure because he seen fatty tissue so he had to quit. When I asked him what the fatty tissue was he said that he didn't know and that he sent it off for test. He put her in the recovery room for 3-4 hours. My wife ended up going into spetic shock and almost dying. The recovery nurse didn't do anything when the labs came back from the blood work that showed that the red and white blood cells were all messed up. (That was an hour before the test results of the fatty tissue.)The only time somebody did anything was when they got the results showing the fatty tissue was a piece of my wifes bowel. She was on the vent for 3 days. They had to leave her open for a week to get all the infection out. She had a bag on her side for 3 monthes to give her bowels and colon time to recover. Come to find out the doctor put 2 holes in her uterues, a 4 cm hole in her colon, and scraped away about foot of her bowel. I know all of this because we have recieved most of her records but not all of them from the hospital.
We are still missing opertive notes, nurses notes, blood work lab results, blood pressure results, temperture results, physical ther notes, notes were she was on a vent, and alot of otherthings. It seems as if the hospital doesn't want to give us those records or they just disappeared from my wifes records that they gave us. But they where in the other doctors that my wife sees records.
I was just wondering what kind of trouble the doctor and the recovery nurse can get into for not doing a better job? I thought that the recovery nurse is the one that is suppose to watch for warning signs if something is going wrong? And what kind of trouble can the hospital get into if any???

All I am saying is that Hospitals are not foreign to making intentional reckless and wanton mistakes when it comes to the placement of records. Especially if the hospital feels like there is liability to the hospital.... I could name you over 50 cases where records seemingly disappeared and summary diagnosis were admitted into court records. In fact in constructive fraud cases we find them quite often.. Think back to the two fires case in torts.. Where there is mutiple tortfeasors, it is likely that there will be multiple cover ups to protect those individuals who caused the fire and the fact that the cabin consequently burned down is disregarded... All I am saying is that if you are taking on the medical system, free advice is not what you need, you need expert advice from experienced professionals...
