Q: Attorney Tully, is a hospital responsible for what happens to a patient after surgery?
A: It can be. The vast majority of surgeries at hospitals are done correctly. But, tragically, people sometimes die in hospitals after their surgery is over, when they are in the recovery room. That could be the time many patients are most at risk for injury because they are unconscious. For example, in 2012 a teenager died after a routine tonsillectomy when she suffered respiratory distress in the recovery room. Her monitor was either not properly set or was muted so the nurse could not hear warnings of the patient’s labored breathing. Call me. No recovery/no fee.
