Mom sues for answers about loss of limbs
Claudia Mejia, went into the hospital to give birth. She came out with a healthy baby,but minus her own arms and legs. Seems she contracted the dreaded "flesh eating" bacterial infection while in the hospital and amputation was the only chance of "saving" her life. But how did this happen? Who is responsible? She deserves answers, but it seems rather than punish "bad" medical personnel, from doctors and directors to orderlies, the Bush administration, and his brother Jeb, would rather "punish" the patients, the victims. Yes by passing legislation limiting monetary recovery, what the government essentially is doing is giving hospitals and staff a free pass. Like it or not money is a necessary evil in this world. With money, people can "afford" to get to the bottom of this and other tragedies that occur daily in our hospitals. The reasons they occur, run the gamut from completely unpreventable to totally criminal negligence. I have favored a policy whereby doctors, if they can't be sued for everything , which is what some victims lose, then at the very least they should be held criminally liable and subject to losing their freedoms. THIS is the only fair alternative.
