Medical Malpractice

My Mom passed away Thurs. April 5th & the circumstances surrounding her condition are negligence, information withheld, liable, lies, Morphine medication for pain was withheld due to a transport issue so from 5:30pm until 2:45am, she was without Pain medication for severe bedsores and Skin Deterioration that was Bleeding; She was released from Kindred Hospital on No. Cooper @ Randol Mill on the day before, April 4th to a skilled nursing facility where the Head Nurse & another Nurse who was going over her skin condition was shocked at what they saw. Another Dr. for Respiratory saw that my Mother had been doing much better weeks prior, was getting better to the point where she might either come home or go to a skilled nursing facility & when she saw my Mom, she asked me What happened and she had the look of puzzlement on her face. There was negligence & the information about the bedsores/skin deterioration on her backside & buttocks was totally withheld from me while they told me about other conditions she had.The RN made a statement "I don't know why they bought your mother here". This was after dark.I had asked the people transporting her in a plain white van without any logos,to drive slowly so that I could follow them but they did not, they took off speeding. The Oxygen Machine: they put the insert in her nose before they turned on the machine; they plugged it in and there was like a blowout!Sparks from the Outlet and Water splashing all over my Mom.She passed away in less than 24 hours from getting there; it's like the hospital threw her away like a bag of garbage! This has bothered me everyday; no peace at all. I stay awake at night thinking about my Mom and asking why she had to go through this and couldn't I have done better by choosing a different hospital.

Over the past 24mo. I have had 3 stent procedures in my LAD. Every 9mo. from the first placement of 3 drug elluting stents I have again been blocked 90%. This last time I went to a VA Clinic complaining of chest discomfort and pressure along with neck pain and head ache I also was extremely short of breath with minimal exurtion, and after EKG and blood pressure checks was told to keep my regular check up with my cardiologist 11 days away. Despite my please for him to check my past records which he did, where normal EKG and blood pressures immediately preceded stent placements, was told I would be fine and pushed out because he had another patient to see. Two days later I thought I was going to die, massive gripping chest pain, neck pain and shortness of breath, like a fish out of water. I imediately went to the VA hospital which had done the first two stent placements and after 3 hours of convincing was admitted and put on the table yet again with 90% blocked LAD. This time however they wefre not speaking to me nor could I see the TV monitors. In fact as I tried to move my head to see the procedure they moved the equipment above my head so I could not see. I have scheduled a second opinion with a different medical group not affiliated with the VA. I also am seeing a LSW Counselor and psychiatrist over this last experience.

I was giving medication November 7 2014 and prior to that day I was walking but when I woke up a few hours later I couldn't walk the medication was called Zyprexa and then the same hospital in August of 2014 they they said they thought I was having a seizure but it was obvious I wasn't because they strap me down to the bed and gave me multiple milligrams of medication to put me to sleep and then they did a spinal tap would you woke me up in the middle of it and I went back to sleep and I woke up 14 hours later admitted to the hospital with white semen looking stuff on my leg. And then another case was I was in the independent living card denied as independent living in her room was infested with bed bugs and I was been everywhere and it was just my room and I have video of the bed bugs and pictures of all my bite marks and I was there for two and a half months. And that was for April to June in 2016

CROSS CONTAMINATION OF CAUSTIC ACID ETCHANT USED DURING A ROUTINE BONDING APPOINTMENT. LONG STORY SHORT THE ASST WAS VERY UNFAMILIAR WITH SUCTION AND RINSE/DRY TECHNIQUES AND WHERE TO PLACE THEM PROPERLY. DENTIST DID NOT ISOLATE FIELD/USED INADEQUATE DELIVERY OF CAUSTIC MATERIAL BY USING A LARGE FLOPPY BRUSH TIP APPLICATOR AND A DAPPON DISH FULL OF DENTAL ACID ETCH AKA PHOSPHORIC ACID. THE METHOD FOR CAREFUL AND MINIMAL APPLICATION DELIVERY OF THE ACID IS A METAL HUB IRRIGATION SYRINGE. COPIUS AMTS APPLIED. ASST COULDNT RINSE OR SUCTION AND I FELT A HUGE GLOB OF SOMETHING DROP ON MY TONGUE, RAISED THE HAND MIRROR TO SEE THE ENTIRE LINGUAL AND PALATE SWABS WITH HORRIFIC AMTS OF BLUE COLORED ACID! THEN HE ASKED HER TO RINSE, WHICH IS A SENSITIVE AND DELIBERATE ACT, BLOW AWAY FROM PATIENT ALL AIR OUT OF LINE, THE SLOWLY 100 PERCENT H2O SLOWLY AWAY FROM GUMS AND LIVING TISSUE CATCHING EVERYDROP WITH THE SUCTION. IF THE ETCH CONTACTS GUM OR BONE IT WILL BURN AND KILL THE TISSUES. SO, DR JIM HALES OF GP OR GRABBED AIR/WATER SYRING OUT OF HER HAND AND QUICK SPAYED THE PALATE AND FACIAL TOWARD GUMLINE AND BACK OF THROAT, THE 100% AIR AT FULL VELOCITY UNDER MY GUMS INTO A COUPLE STABLE POCKETS AND HELD ME DOWN SAYING IM ALMOST DONE. HE TOLD ASST TO HIT THE CURING LIGHT AS HE QUICKLY PAINTED THE BOND OVER THE TEETH. THEN HE PREPPED AND REETCHED FINAL FILLING BUT WENT INTO THE NERVE CHAMBER THEN HE ETCHED(CONTAMINATE WAS INTRODUCED INTO THE ROOT AND OUT THE APEX FORAMEN INTO THE BONE! THEN HE TRIED TO APPLY DYCAL CALCIUM HYDROXIDE BUT WAS ANGRY WHEN IT WOULDNT STICK DUE TO INSIDE OF TOOTH HEMMORHAGING. HE SAID SCREW IT AND PACKED COMPOSITE MATERIAL INTO THE TOOTH SITTING ON THE CHAMBER AND I GOT LOOSE AAND RAN OUT OF THE OFFICE. iT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS STUCK BETWEEN EVERY TOOTH. I HAD TO HAVE ROOT CANAL THERAPY ON THE TOOTH OCT 10 2013, GOOD PROGNOSIS, HE ASSAULTED ONLY TO HAVE THE TEETH AND A LARGE INVESTMENT FALL OUT OF ZERO MOBILITY TEETH JUST 3MOS PRIOR.

FOR PERM FILL JAN 29 2013 I WAS URGED TO GO TO HAVE HIM DO THE FINAL RESTORATION ON RCT 10. I RELUCTANLY PRESENTED. THE FINAL INSULT IS WHAT I WALKED INTO. HE CARELESSLY HOGGED OUT LEANING ON THE TOOTH, THE RCT GUTTA PERCHA ENTIRELY-LEAVING THE APEX OF THE TOOTH WIDE OPEN. THEN HE ETCHED AND RINSED BARELY ANDAIR DRIED INTO CANAL BLOWING THE RESIDUAL TOXIN OUT THE TIP OF THE ROOT CANAL THAT HE OBLITERATED, THE CRAMMED THE TOOTH HEAVY HANDEDLY CHANTING LOUDLY "YOU JUST WANT FREE DENTISTRY. ..AS HE ANGRILY DESTROYED MY DENTITION AND EVEN SADDER THE BONE AS IT WOULD BECOME ERRILY APPARENT 6 DAYS LATER. I AWOKE AND MY GUMS WHERE FLOPPING DETTACHED FROM THE BONE AND CONNECTIVE TISSUES- THE ETCHANT HAD BEEN DESTROYING SINCE THE INITIAL VISIT AND THE FINAL FILL OVER RCT TOOTH.

Harsh and disrespectful treatment during an ER visit, which spanned 15+ hours. I was even denied the right to call my emergency contact.

The surgeon removed three parathyroids and then discovered I did not have a fourth one. I am now hypoparathyroid. Not fun and will lose my kidneys in 15 years. I have no energy. Cannot run anymore.

I had a c section with my son 10/25/1993. I also had a tubal ligation at that time as well. It is now 20 yrs later and to my surprise I recently had an tubal pregnancy at the age of 49! I was told that apparently the Doctor who performed the tubal ligation had only fixed (cut & burned) my right side of my ovaries, totally neglecting to finish the procedure to the left ovary as well. Not only physically did I suffer, I also suffered (and still do) mentally and emotionally, not to mention financially for the five days of lost wages.

Bowel leaked into my body for 4 days after the surgery causing me to gain over 20 pounds within 24hrs. After the 4th day my fiancee told the nurse that I could not breathe and I was rushed to radiology to have a CT-scan. I had to undergo an intensive surgery to have my small bowel intestine repaired. After I was released from the hospital I had to have a Home Health Nurse because I had an open wound from the infection caused by the leakage and had to wear a drainage bag for over 3 weeks. I have over $100,000 worth of hospital bills that I cannot pay. Help!

I cut right big toe on 8/27/09. I am 75 year old Plavix patient and couldn't stop bleeding. ER doctor and his PA could not stop bleeding and ordered a student nurse working in ER to wrap toe and discharge me without XRay or antibiotics. Bleeding slowed but did not stop. Aug. 28 went to Primary care. Put on Keflex and bleeding was stopped. XRay showed fracture. Sept 4, infection had turned into cellulitis and was put on Levaquin. I believe had the ER prescribed an antibiotic at time of visit cellulitis would not have set in.
