In 2010, a patient at East Jefferson General Hospital in Louisiana died during surgery for a coronary artery bypass. The widow filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the hospital claiming that her husband died because the doctors failed to respond when it became apparent that something was going wrong with the surgery.
The patient’s wife claims that during the operation, he showed clear signs of distress, with increased blood pressure, a heart flutter and kidney failure. He died of a heart attack.
The widow is seeking unspecified damages and has accused the doctors of medical malpractice, failing to properly monitor the patient, improper administration of medications that interacted with one another and failure to diagnose the patient’s heart flutter.
