Misdiagnosis
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=21353378Girl in comma after tonsillectomy.
"Give her a little more?" The parent is complaining about perceiving pain in the child : just give her a little more, Morphine?
Does the patient suffer from sleep apnea, or epileptic type seizures, without diagnosis?
Is the person epileptic? Was testing given to determine the apnea?
In that case do you take the chance? If they come out of surgery and the person is waking up from the antithetic and they don't wake up all the way, did you give morphine during that time?
In that case do you take the chance? Were tests skipped because of Obamacare standards?
The girl in San Francisco didn't bleed near to death. If she was bleeding that bad she would have choked on her own blood. (In the hospital.) Bleeding didn't lead to cardiac arrest.
Were the sinuses packed?
Were precautions taken against infection?
Was any type of criteria mandated in association with the care given?
Who ordered the post op morphine drip to be increased?
"If the girl had epilepsy and was not diagnosed, the extra morphine is what probably put her into a comma." (Misdiagnosis.)
