While I grieve for her family and understand that sometimes complications can happen beyond anyone's control, I think there is more than a reasonable possibility of incompetence or negligence . Bring ing a law suit will not bring this girl back, but may prevent this from happening again.

Nearly every week I read horror stories from the UK about how their socialized health care system is killing patients. Their "Liverpool pathway protocols" are little more than legalized euthanasia for any patient deemed terminal. Hospital care has deteriorated to where pregnant women are delivering their babies in hallways and closets and patients especially the elderly are left uncared for in filthy beds. At least in the US there is legally recourse to hold people responsible, but in a socialized system where the government runs health care not even that is possible.

Yep. Four decades ago, my sister-in-law spent the night in the hallway of an NHS hospital after giving birth to her first child. It has gotten MUCH worse and is coming here. And just my two cents......I don’t care how old or sick you are.........EVERY LIFE HAS VALUE! The Government deciding who will get care and live and who will be denied care and will die will not end well here in the USA.
