It seems like there isn’t one good hospital in this state. My husband was told there was nothing wrong with him by the hospital even after being sent by ambulance from Urgent Care on September 21, 2024. I found him deceased in our bed Monday, September 23, 2024 deceased in our bed. The hospital failed miserably!
Hello my husband went through several tests due to his condition. His doctor recommended this and that. At the start of this complaint..he was 5’11 and 200lbs. Continue to ask could it be cancer? two years later he was dead. Trust me we have a case! I
Went to ER. They manipulated my stats. I have pix of the stats, and paperwork to show the manipulated numbers. They are doing an “in-house” investigation.
My blood pressure was 220/120s…they put 130/70s. They kept using the machine it would throw error bc my bp was too high. It kept trying to take bp. I asked for manual cuff multiple times, told no. I have pix of machine with stats and video of bruises left 2 days later from the machine on both arms.
I highly recommend Tommy hastings he will fight for you.

On 2/18/24 my heart arrested with what was called a small heart attack I was then stabilized and two hours later I had another heart attack this time a much larger one that stopped my heart and CPR was administered for fourteen minutes tell the equipment could be brought in to my room to maintain heart from the heart ICU floor. after the first heart attack I was not moved to a heart ICU, I was moved to another room on the same medical ward . After I was stabilized a doctor stated that if I lived for 24 hours that I would have a good chance to make it and commented to my family that it was mistake not to have moved me to the heart ICU . I was in a coma for two days . The heart doctor cath my heart and said my heart was in great condition and was not the reason for the heart . After seeing three heart doctors they all concluded that the infection is what caused my heart attack and know due to the heart attacks in stuck on medication due to the damage caused.
I went to emergency huntsville memorial here in Texas cause I felt very light headed and throwing up. Doctor did take blood samples to see if there was anything in my blood to see if I needed a blood trans fusion! He said he saw nothing and gave me Nausea pills and sent me on my way! 2 weeks later my health declined and went to emergency room memorial Hermann and come to find out my hemoglobin was very very low that the doctor had two give me 2 pints of blood ! So my diagnosis from the first hospital was misdiagnosed which I was told I wouldn’t need a transfusion and the hospital at memorial Hermann said lucky I came in when I did! My question is do I have a case? I look forward to your response thank you.

My mom has been urinating blood since September. She has been going to minor emergency and also to the main hospital. All facility’s are owned by the same medical Name. Every doctor she has seen just write a prescription for antibiotics. Since September not one Dr called in a specialist or referred her to one at all. Finally a Dr did do a scan and said she has a mass on her bladder. This was In the middle of December. She was even admitted for 8 days over Thanksgiving and no specialist was called in then either and still no scan to find mass. On 12/21/2022 she went back cause she felt weird and was light headed. I took her back out to the main hospital again and this time her blood pressure dropped really low. In this ER 2 doctors were talking about her past and both admitted BSA dropped the ball on this and They both could not believe that over all this time no one mentioned specialist or scan. They even came in asked her about DNR and put a port in her chest to help in case she dies. She was admitted to ICU on December 21st We have no information about mass on bladder but they have her now scheduled to remove on Dec 30th.They could have found out about the mass in September but failed to do the correct test or scan. It looks like all these Dr failed to read the history and how long she has been dealing with the bleeding. These clinic and their main hospital have failed over and over to not diagnose her properly.
My wife has a back surgery where doctor removed a spur. Eight weeks later the disc gets unstable moves around so required another surgery. Third time doctor installed hardware and screwed it to stabilize. Now after MRI, one of the screws has broken and hardware is becoming unstable. Doctor and hospital admits to several patients have same issue, so now it’s a manufacturer issue. They want to do another surgery using a different brand of hardware. The hospital has advised FDA on this faulty hardware. She is still in bad pain and needs to be fixed and compusated.
I recently went to the ER in Paris Texas where the ER doctor insisted on putting a tube in my chest with me telling him no no call my lung doctors. The tube came out of my chest when I got to my floor my room and I laid there for four days with the open wound where I became septic finally left that hospital and went to medical city where they did the repairs on me and I stayed 14 days and came home with a 24 hour anabiotic ball to my heart for another three weeks.
