Facts of the Case
This case involved the death of a well-known and respected physician, who presented to the hospital with signs and symptoms of a progressing brain bleed. As a result of the alleged negligence by the nurses and physicians involved in his care, the patient’s deteriorating condition went unrecognized and undiagnosed until it was too late to save him.
When the patient became unresponsive from a massive brain hemorrhage, more than 12 hours after coming to the hospital, the patient was airlifted to another hospital for emergency brain surgery. Unfortunately, nothing could be done, and the patient passed away the next day at the age of 69.
