While under the care at a VA hospital, a veteran had been repeatedly attacked by fire ants. He died days later after the last attack. The hospital had been negligent with their patients and the living conditions of the hospital. They knew months prior before the attack that there was a pest problem and failed at fixing it. https://www.google.com//WDATVM7BFVAS5JZ5/%3foutputType=amp If you think you have a case, please call our office for a free consultation. 314-231-0570

All to often complaints of needing medical care go ignored when they are voiced from inmates. A 19 year old man’s complaints went ignored even after his body shut down and he could no longer walk. He begged prison staff and prison nurses for dialysis to which he was refused. His condition became so evident to others that they too began begging staff for help. Their cries all went ignored until he was found deceased on his cell floor. https://indyweek.com//family-members-of-inmates-who-died-/ If you think you have a case, please call our office for a free consultation. 314-231-0570

A friendly reminder to keep your pets indoors and safe during these extreme cold temperatures. Most likely, if it’s too cold for you outside, it’s too cold for your pets too.

It is hard enough having to hear or talk about end of life plans with family or a loved one, but then to have those plans ignored is unthinkable. According to a study, more than 1 in 3 patients received ICU care that was inconsistent with their end of life wishes. https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/sccm/84924 If you have a loved one whose wishes were neglected, please call our office for a free consultation. 314-231-0570

Although the number of surgical instruments left inside a patient during surgeries are low, it is still a dangerous and life threatening error. Many factors that lead to this type of error is fatigue, noise, interruptions, and long or complex surgeries. This type of mistake can lead to pain, nerve damage, perforations, infection, and sepsis. No matter how long or complex the surgery is, doctors and staff need to follow the guidelines and account for all their equipment. https://lighthouse.mq.edu.au//What-happens-when-surgical-t If you think you have a case, please call our office for a free consultation. 314-231-0570

A man, who originally had tinnitus, underwent brain surgery to help repair it. During the surgery, the doctor negligently performed a craniotomy without assistance of a brain surgeon and punctured the patient’s brain stem.

Not only was one patient neglected at this VA hospital in Louisville, but many other veterans suffered as well. A veteran went into the VA hospital with back pain and ended up dying a few weeks later. Instead of the medical and administrative staff working hard to find and make any contact with his family, they allowed his neighbor to make end-of-life decisions, including a DNR order. Shortly after his death they were able to find his family. https://www.google.com//amp.courier-journal/amp/3300483001 Due to many VA facilities being overwhelmed with not enough staff, they often make mistakes. We want to help our veterans who sacrificed to keep us safe. If you or a loved one think you may have a case, please call our office for a free consultation. 314-231-0570
