Texas Post Surgical Infection Attorneys Contacted Immediately

Mom was complaining of pains in her side and was quickly referred by her GP to hospital after he suspected a burst appendix. His diagnosis was correct and she underwent surgery shortly after being admitted. The operation went well and she was due to be released 48 hours later. On the morning of her release, she complained of pain again and hot flushes. The nurse took her temperature and mentioned that she had a very slight fever but "nothing to worry about". Mom was sent home that day. Shortly afterwards, at home, her fever rose and the pain increased. She could barely move and when her fever hit 40, we rushed her back to hospital. The doctor immediately diagnosed infection and emergency surgery. It was touch and go but Mom pulled through and was released 2 weeks later. Not one to let things go easily, I immediately contacted a team of Texas post surgical infection attorneys which I found on the internet. I had to do all I could to ensure that Mom didn't suffer for nothing.

Texas Post Surgical Infection Attorneys Investigate

The pair of Texas post surgical infection attorneys whom I contacted went straight to work. Within a couple of days, they discovered that mom had been running fever on the morning of her release. It was high enough to warrant further tests but because the hospital was running low on beds, the nurses were instructed to release her. The Texas post surgical infection attorneys told me that this was something that occurred in other cases and nothing new to them, even though I was shocked at the negligence. We settled the matter out of court after the hospital could not ignore the hard facts found in mom's medical records which noted her fever that morning. A sum of over a quarter of a million dollars was sought and won by the Texas post surgical infection attorneys.
