I'm so sorry for you and what happened to your mother. Prayers for you and your family.
Was your mom diabetic? How old was she and what was the initial heart surgery for? Do you know why they started her on blood thinners before the surgery? Was she already on a blood thinner and they change her to heparin for the surgery? I would be asking a lot of questions. |

Sorry about your mom. Unless you have strong evidence of egregious malpractice I would not pursue it. It sounds like the medical team went all out, but there is only so much you can do in patients with diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, peripheral vascular disease.
Mourn and move on. |

Sorry for your loss but sounds like lots of underlying medical conditions caused problems to magnify and bring about her death.

Acute kidney injury occurs fairly frequently (maybe 30%) in patients who undergo cardiac surgery. I'd be shocked if she wasn't informed of this risk prior to surgery.

Was she not informed of risks before surgery? Did she sign any waiver of liability? How is this the Surgeons fault? Im sorry for your mothers loss but shit happens.........it sounds like your mom was medically complicated from the get go........Peoples condition can change in the blink of an eye and as we age it gets worse along with our bodys potential to heal. Your mother is gone........is a lawsuit for something that they will walk from going to bring her back? Mourn and move on.

OP, I'm generally against lawsuits and malpractice, but it sound like the night be something fucky with the blood thinners. Or, you are grieving and looking for...something. For which I cannot blame you. Take the file to a local/your family lawyer and see what they say. The ones who aren't malpractice factories will give you an idea of whether there's any there there. If it gives you some peace, it will be worth the consult fee. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thanks. Yes she was a Diabetic. She was 58, the surgery was for bypasses. I think they started her on blood thinners because she had severe blockages in her heart. I don't think she was on blood thinners before. We had a good friend who was short and round. Diabetes took his legs, then his sight, then him. He never followed a strict diet, and paid the price. I'm sorry your mom died so young, but I suspect someone other than her medical professionals was ultimately to blame for her early death. |

Sounds like your mom had access to top notch medical care, her medical team did everything within their power to prolong the inevitable and make her comfortable, an did their responsibility and duty as medical practitioners. Why don't you reward them with litigation?
Seriously though sorry about your loss. I understand your mourning but assigning guilt is not the right approach here. I'm a doctor. We are not omnipotent. We do the best we can every day. We take hopeless cases pour our heart and souls into it, work 80-100 hour weeks, and even in those hopeless cases where we without a doubt know we could not have changed the outcome we still assign guilt to ourselves and feel responsible for things we didn't cause. If your looking for answers how about talk with the doctor rather than speculating. |

But they still make mistakes. And the virtues of the former can't be a shield against the latter. The malpractice system is FUBAR, but I lay that squarely at the feet of the Trial Lawyer's association and their accomplices in state and federal governments, and local medical boards who have a history of doing ANYTHING to protect their members, even those who should have been jailed, much less lose their license. |
