I found out after the fact that a resident did the actual opening during the surgery, not the actual neurosurgeon. My neurosurgeon is not an employee of UAB directly, but the resident was. Because it was the resident who did the opening, I could not sue the resident because he had immunity and he was the one that botched everything so badly. Now I am permanently in pain when I went to them looking for help and ended up worse off than I was.Scartedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06203674289825570376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-45011466210064415392016-05-14T15:06:03.816-05:002016-05-14T15:06:03.816-05:00I just have the need to say this to all the people...I just have the need to say this to all the people who have sent prayers and kind thought to my family thank you and God bless all of you but this has been bothering me and I feel people need to know this,my sister was never ask what hosiptal to take her husband to,it's just natural everybody goes to UAB around here,I know UAB has saved many but they have also a large percent of neglects please read this article I found shocking,I am not bitter or being overly emotional about th loss of my brother n law, I was there off n on a alot since March 28th I saw this with my on eyes as well had the rest of the family did.

Doctor ordered her bed rails up and bed alarm on and puree food. She fell and broke a bone in her back and the nurse fed her whole steak tips and rice without her teeth because i took them home and she asperated and coded ..ended up in ccu so now she has been in the hospital in and out for 45 days and about 11 days in rehab...she is now unable to walk...You can send a letter to the state and also it goes to medicare and they will investigate then slap a big penalty on them. I believe you can sue them only for liability and the cap is at 100,000.00. That is itUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032926721628282324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-16414897533893750092011-04-10T02:12:14.141-05:002011-04-10T02:12:14.141-05:00thanks for your kind words.

He was oversedated by the nurses and aspirated and ended up on a respirator for aspiration pneumonia. He bled from the stomach from blood thinners and was left lying in pools of blood. He developed massive, infected bedsores while in intensive csre and got a bacteria in his blood from the sores and died of septic shock.Baptist is giving everybody a hard time getting his records. We are pursuing legal advice and help because it is just wrong to let someone rot in the ICU.boucardoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14636281846659511904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-67821433649397266992011-02-20T21:51:59.421-06:002011-02-20T21:51:59.421-06:00Boucardog:

I know a number of plaintiff's lawyers are seeking reconsideration of the Supreme Court ruling mentioned in this post, so the matter is not completely settled. Will stay on the story, and hope you will feel free to keep us posted on your family's situation.<br /><br />LSlegalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-67675661954166106672011-02-20T21:08:44.726-06:002011-02-20T21:08:44.726-06:00Baptist Hospital just killed my father> He went...Baptist Hospital just killed my father> He went in for a dialysis catheter and had his bowel punctured by the physician who denied that there was a problem until feces started pouring out of his side. A week laterhe was rushed in the middle of the moiddle of the night to have a ileostomy. He beacame septic and is on a respirator and not expected tp recover. The fact that doctors can commit homicide and patients hjave no recourse is horrible and needs to be corrected. Otherwise, every bad doctor should rush to Baptist Hospital and be available when the judges have their MI.boucardoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14636281846659511904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-18207698433139571432011-02-02T10:12:13.294-06:002011-02-02T10:12:13.294-06:00Wouldn't it be interesting to hear Dr. Dr. Ben...Wouldn't it be interesting to hear Dr. Dr. Bentley's take on this subject?Max Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462265300417588171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-34288972362403691752011-02-01T11:45:56.861-06:002011-02-01T11:45:56.861-06:00Trudy:

But it does show that other facilities are trying to ride the "immunity train." And it shines a spotlight on the fact that you can be the victim of gross medical negligence/malpractice at UAB, and the university will try to squirm out of accountability by citing immunity issues. I'm sure most citizens do not know how legally vulnerable they can be when they seek care at UAB Hospital. I'm going to be reporting on other medical-malpractice cases, involving some various serious health issues where UAB has essentially said, "Hey, we're immune . . . tough luck. Thanks for your business. Oh wait a minute, you're dead. Guess we won't be seeing you again!"legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-16019996638296903252011-02-01T11:32:40.973-06:002011-02-01T11:32:40.973-06:00In fairness, this Davis decision didn't change...In fairness, this Davis decision didn't change anything about UAB's immunity. That decision rises or falls on whether it makes sense to extend immunity to Baptist. UAB's immunity is unchanged and nothing new.<br /><br />Sorry to nitpick.TrudyBluenoreply@blogger.com
