IS THIS A LEGAL WRONGFUL DEATH ?

My mom went into the hospital 2 weeks ago because she was sick and gagging all the time , could not keep nothing down , she is 71.

she had a home help nurse twice a week but still she tgot no better ,she she is also diabetic, she woke up one morning real sick so we called 911, she was admitted to the hospital .

they started to give her i.v s right away and the next 2 days i talked to her she felt a little better, well the third day she told me they were moving her to another floor, i asked why ? she told me the doctor had a little battle with her insurance company , i can't figure that one out because her husband had good insurance with the postal service where he retired.

they moved her up to the 6 floor , a NONMEDICAL FLOOR !!WHY !!she was sick as h*** and they started her on therapy !! she was to sick to get out of bed , each day since she was on that last floor she was going downhill !!she was gagging worse , could not urinate on her own !!she was in there for 10 days .

i talked to her on day 11. at 8pm till 10 pm , she was alert and feeling a little better but a little short on breath,she told me to call her at 2pm.

my sister called me the next day and told me her doctor told her mom was doing great everything was fine she would be home in a few days .

that was about 11am.

she told my sister they were taking her to therapy but she was to sick , well about 1pm she went to therapy anyway according to her roomate against her wishes , at 1:45 they brougtht her back she was having trouble breathing , she crawled into bed on her left side layed down the therapist came in 5 min later to talk to her , she did not respond , he yelled her name 2 more times nothing , SHE WAS DEAD !! WHY !! why therapy when she was so sick !!why not keep her on a medical floor instead of skilled care !!well they werent so skilled cause my mom is dead in my opinion because of therapy !! totally uncalled for !!i believe if they would have left her in bed instead of making her excercise she would be alive !! please only serious answers i need some opinions , i am her son !!IS THIS A LEGAL WRONGFUL DEATH ?
What is a non-medical floor in a hospital? I'm not aware of such a thing. I've never been to a hospital that had any floors that didn't provide some type of healthcare. Well, except for the parking garage floors, of course.
i had a similar thing happen to my cousin but they sent her home and told her is was all in her head told her to see a shrink she died in her sleep a week later she was only 27 with 2 small kids we are suing the hospital for wrong full death get a lawyer............ its a long process .......IS THIS A LEGAL WRONGFUL DEATH ?
I WOULD REQUEST HER MEDICAL RECORDS AND SEE IF YOUR THOUGHTS CAN BE BACKED UP WITH PHISICAL PROOF
Medical negligence is extremely difficult to prove. The hospital, doctors and nurses will all stick up for each other.



What Larry Doyle says is correct. You need solid evidence of wrongdoing.



An attorney would only be able to tell you if it was a wrongful death after perusing all the medical records and interviewing those who were responsible for caring for your mom.



There could have been good medical reasons for them moving your mom. Your attorney will need to question them in this regard.IS THIS A LEGAL WRONGFUL DEATH ?
The horrible but honest answer is because once she no longer needed to be on IV's the insurance company would no longer pay for her to be kept on an acute care floor and the hospital did the best they could by keeping her on the rehab floor.
