Bereavement

most people know their bodies so don’t just discount someone’s complaints. I’m an attorney in NJ who has formerly represented plaintiffs in medical malpractice cases. In NJ, medical malpractice cases are difficult to win due to a variety of reasons. I sued the cardiologists who 15 years ago let her bleed to death in the recovery room after having a cardiac cauterization with stent placed for a blocked artery. In the recovery room she had text book signs of bleeding but they didn’t do anything about it for 4 hours. When I confronted the interventional cardiologist he said he could have fix the bleeding but was waiting for the interventional radiologist. So o looked him square in the eye and said “so my mother died because of billing decision. That is, the interventional radiologist would be pissed off you took his procedure.” As a post script, when the interventional radiologist arrived in the hospital he was livid that nothing was done for my mother for four hours and was barking orders, but it was too late. My mother, 65yo, and otherwise very healthy died a miserable death from sepsis. What was l low risk procedure turned into a miserable death.
