My mom was diagnosed with a rare nerve disorder, and for months was told it was not life threatening. This was after many types of tests, blood, sonograms,4 drs, and 2 Rehab centers later she was admitted to a Hospital in Ct, that is supposed to specialize in this type of disorder. Day 1...she was admitted, all blood tests were done and everything as far as the thickness of her blood was VERY normal. They put her on a regimen of (Plasmapheresis) which is like a dialisis of her blood to clean out the bad stuff and put the good stuff back in. However, in order for THEIR machines not to clot up they needed to add a blood thinner to it, which in return got pumped back into my moms body also. Hosptal protocal says that some one on HEPERIN does not need to be monitored. Well in the feild that I worked in as a phlebotomist (drawing blood) a person inpatient or out, once put on Heperin is always monitored closely, as for they need to try to get a good level going on the person without bleeding them to death. One bump in the stomach that you or I can take, could kill a person on this Medication. 3 days later my mom complained of pain in her stomach, they searched with an ultrasound, and found an internal bleed. Of course (not related)to the Heperin in anyway, as they say. They proceded to pump into her 3 persons worth of blood, platelettes, and Frozen red blood cells, and she blew up like a 98 pound blueberry, and they had NO output for the excess blood. It shut her organs down one by one, and at the last minute they decide to take her into surgery to stop the bleeding. The Dr. comes out stating that the operation was a success, but WE LOST HER! They preceeded to talk my dad into signing an ok for THEM todo an autopsy. I told him no way that the crime squad of Ct should take over all of this. Crime Dept turned me down saying this is not a crime. That hospital DID do the autopsy and covered their tracks carefully by taking all body parts out and slicing them and putting them in formaldahyde before even doing a toxicology test of ANY sort.There is no Lawyer who will take my case on, here in Ct, must be that Dr./Lawyer confidentality thing. Newspapers wont touch me as for I have to have a specialist near me to agree with what I have to say. TV is the same way. Our State of Ct Health Dept did do an investigation, and in the first one found that a Dr did make a mistake, however it was sent for a 2nd opinion and that Dr cleared the first of ALL wrong doings. I need my moms body exhumed to do this toxicology thing and I can find No-one to help. I am hoping some one will take me seriously enough to read this an help me PLEASE, in any way you can. It is a crime as for the autopsy said that the cause of all of this nerve problem was a very small, small cell lung tumor, that had not spread pass the lung. So at the very worst, and they had to remove the whole lung, I would still have my MOM, and my mom would still be a Grammy. It (IS A CRIME) last I knew to kill someone, in a hidious manner such as what she went through. Drs suspected the lung tumor, but never went after it in an agressive way. they only took an X-Ray that was unable to be read, and I was told that they would take a blood test that would tell them if she had cancer in 10 days. However in 10 days she was dead and buried. The test did come back as her having cancer. CRIME, this is and there is a 2 year statue of limitation on death, and over a year has run out, and with my agressiveness still getting nowhere. Help Please.Kathy Drenga How it changed my life:It has changed my veiws to bad as far as Drs.Lawyers, and the judgitial system goes.I wont let a Dr. get near me now, even if I am real sick. I am now seeing a Pchyciatrist about my mom,and need depression medician to go on.There is not one day that goes by that I dont think of my mom, and how life would be if they just had done the right thing, and how my life would be if I could just get the REAL truth and finally let my life go on as they all say.This is not just my mom we need to think about here, Its all of our loved ones that are out there being treated this way, you just dont know it yet. Thats why they call it a practice.I cant go on, and wont, until this is all resolved in the manner it needs to be resolved in......in the courts if I can ever get it there.
