My 18 yr old son died from Leukemia june 2, 2002. He was diagnosed 9/10/01.
He was in the company of a kid who broke the law and was put in jail. He did not call me due to embarrassment. He was sick and begged to go to hospital. He had nose bleeds constantly. I think they took him to hosp. once and nothing was done. On 9/09/01 he threw up blood and was then taken to another hosp. They then diagnosed him, but by then he only had 4 pints of blood in his body..almost dead, literally hours from death. His white blood cells were allowed in this this time to number in the hundred thousands, which pretty much insured he would not live in remission. I saw my son the day he was brought in, he was so yellow/white, I cannot even imagine a professional nurse from that jail couldn't see somehings wrong. Especially with his constant requests to go to the hospital.
I want to sue the jail and make sure nobody elses child sits in a cell and bleeds to death. They even chained him to the hospital bed for 2 days, he was about dead! Where was he going? The charges against him were dropped. A video of the crime actually showed his non participation. There is alot more, but from this do you think I have a case? And what attorney do I get to go against the city?
Thanks
