I am going to side with a generous punitive settlement when the wrongful death case comes to court.
It could be said that that is exactly her attorney’s strategy.
The girl is dead, the hospital staff goofed, and by all means there should be legal action taken. But much of their pain and suffering is of their own making as they prolong the agony of waiting for someone to bring their brain dead girl back to life.
I agree with the hospital that they should not operate on a dead body.

You don’t know that there was a “goof” by O.R. staff. She could have had an undiagnosed genetic clotting disorder or more likely, she was extubated and because of irritation to the swollen tissues she coughed so hard a clot was dislodged. Ergo, profuse bleeding.
I spent over 30 years in the operating room and have seen many strange things happen that had nothing to do with human error by the staff.
Hospitals do it all the time when they pilfer organs from "brain dead" but living persons without anesthesia.
