Hi everyone.
I’m sorry, I didn’t know what topic to put this under so I hope this is ok. My little sister died in another country earlier this year. She ended up moving between three hospitals but the first hospital she was at was completely responsible for her death. She overdosed on a cocktail of medications and they basically did nothing to help her other than give her IV saline. They were a private hospital and because she wasn’t insured they didn’t really care. We’ve seen lawyers and hired medical professionals to evaluate her notes and to cut a long story short they broke the constitution and were legally negligent. At one point they left her without checking on her for 3 hours while the drugs ravaged her body.
The law in that country states that emergency life saving care should be given in these circumstances whether the patient can pay or not. The law also says they can’t be transported to another (state) hospital until they are completely stable. We’ve established that she wasn’t stable when she was moved. The trip from hospital A to hospital B was 30 minutes and within those 30 minutes she crashed and fell into a coma that she never woke up from. Her triage colour was orange which meant she needed urgent care in Majors within 10 minutes and was in danger of lethal damage to life or limb.
We finally have a zoom meeting scheduled with the hospital in a few days to go through everything that happened. I’m trying to be prepared as possible. We recently got hold of her ECG results that they did when she first arrived. Could someone in the medical field please interpret these for me? I would be so grateful. I have written down all the facts and have my questions prepared. This is the only thing that I haven’t been able to interpret.
Thank you so much in advance 🙏
