MabusIncarnate posted... It sounds like it was a routine administration that had a very rare occurrence. I'm struggling to put full blame on the medical staff here, as unfortunate as this is. Sometimes there are unpredictable, unheard of complications that no one anticipates because it just doesn't happen. I'd wait on more information, because I don't know what to think.
It would be different if they ODed her or something along those lines, and neglected to give the proper dose. It sounds like they did the same that they do to thousands of other patients, and she just had a crazy reaction to it as a result. I'm not a medical professional so i'm not going to act like I know what i'm talking about.
It's sad regardless.
She was left unattended for 15 minutes.
The nurse wouldn't say the practice's name on the 911 call. When asked directly, he responded "Um....oh......gosh....ummmm"
And he was a defendant in a case where ANOTHER woman was put under for breast surgery and ended up brain dead.
