    Physician Standard of Care / Not Reporting Life Threatening Xray Resul

    Okay. I do hear what you are saying. I bet you are relieved! Yes Proserpina, the x Ray reports were indeed different from her previous report. The previous report did not show pulmonary edema or pneumonia. I'll give it a rest now and pray to find peace with this. Thanks to all of you.

    Proserpina, I do appreciate your response and yes my emotional health has very much been affected by this. Is it not reasonable to expect our doctors to review X-ray results in a timely fashion? Is it also not reasonable to expect a phone call informing us of those results? Is it not...

    ou're pursuing, just keep engaged in the pursuit. The true success for YOU, is in the endeavor. That's what it was for us. You win by simply being persistent, not giving up, because the pursuit of justice for your mother helps you grieve. It surely did for me. Remember, it's always about the...

    Disagreeable........... If you had read the previous posts, you would have seen that 911 was called and was enroute to my parents home. Nobody left her sitting to die. I suspect you have not been in this situation and I pray you don't have to watch your loved one go through what my mother did...

    Well cbg, you made me think on this one. I firmly believe that the inaction of the cardiologist, re: checking and reporting the X-ray report results to my parents and then admitting my mother for treatment, violates the Medical Practice Act. My mother was not well at all and yes I also agree...

    My mother did not tell me that she was having trouble breathing until I met up with her at the clinic for her appointment with the cardiologist. What caused her "flash pulmonary edema" was her heart condition. She had a leaky mitral valve. In medicine, flash pulmonary edema (oedema in British...

    Physician Standard of Care / Not Reporting Life Threatening Xray Resul

    Last year I accompanied my mother to a visit with her cardiologist. My mother was elderly and not in very good health at all. While with the cardiologist, my mother and I let him know that my mother was having difficulty breathing. She had a history of a condition called flash pulminary edema...
