Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Michigan
gaingreen of the bowel
my premie was born in december but was due in march. she stayed in NICU until february. she was strong and doing good. she had two prior incidences of a large stomach but the doctors gave her antibiotics and thought she had gas and infection. the last monday of february she was close to coming home but that night her stomach became swollen and hard and they rushed her to childrens hospital for x-rays and observation. she became very sick and unable to breathe without 100% oxygen (until then, the most she had ever been on was 35% oxygen). that friday, february 28, they operated on her because she wasn't doing better and saw that her entire intestine was black. she died. the cause on her death certificate was 'gaingreen of the bowel'. i need to know if the hospital could have prevented the spread of the graingreen if they had transferred her the prior two times her stomach became enlarged?
