Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Alaska

Wife suffers multiples strokes after surgery-dies

Immediately after surgery, my (44-year old)wife suffered mulitple strokes on both sides of her brain. After being in coma for 3 weeks following surgery, she died. She had gone in to have the adrenal gland removed because there was a 3cm mass on it. She had never experienced nor exhibited the symptoms of a stroke before ... and now, 6 hours after surgery, she was experiencing multiple strokes simultaneously. It is my belief that there may have been neglience involved. I have a 4-page letter that gives some detail, and I have a 4" thick medical folder that contains most, if not all, medical records relating to her. If you would like to receive the letter, and you are an attorney, please email me.

My sincerest condolences on the death of your wife. It is impossible to evaluate negligence without a complete medical file. You need to retain an attorney to handle this for you.
