Seems like they should have kept her in the hospital longer after she had one clot.
Why would they assume she might not throw another?
Maybe her insurance didn’t allow a longer stay?
Because the insurance companies pay the doctor and hospital a bonus to discharge her ASAP. Each day she's there it eats at the customary fee paid for the procedure. Infection, blood pressure, mobility, pain management, be damned.
And under the HMO act of 1974, by Ted Kennedy, the insurers offering HMO plans are immune from recourse, as they are exempt from state insurance regulators oversight and enjoy legal immunity from law suits. HMO health plans are not insurance!
