Female no health problems, daigonised w/ autoimmune Hemolytic anemia, dies in heart hospital w/ blood clot .?


female no prior health problems, taking no medictions, no alcohol or drugs, diagonised w/ autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Taking to er, red blood cells count was 7.9 - transferd to heart hospital given blood an stabilized at reb 10. Was told she suffered a heart attack because of termendous loss of blood, mild stroke aswell. No blood was actuallyh lossed, but blood was eating own blood. Layed in hospital bed for 2 day, the nerver massaged legs or put things on her legs for blood clots. Died from blood clot in leg. I think this should have never happened especially in a reknowed heart hospital. Does any body know anything about blood clots and if this a case of over sight or neglect. She leaves a loving close net family that is asking why? thank you very much

I would definitely tell the family to get the hospital records for this patient as soon as possible! It does sound like a bit of neglect went on,the staff should have been more prompt on this issue,it was the icu,and that stands for INTENSIVE care unit.I'm sorry about your loss,and i pray for the family.

I am so sorry for your loss. This disease has so many different symptoms including a lot of leg pain which may have delayed the diagnosis of blood clots in this patients legs. She suffered a few things that could have contributed to her death. She had the heart attack as well as the stroke. Her activity was limited from that and probably contributed to the blood clots. The blood clots should have been picked up; however as I stated there are so many different symptoms from the original disease (the hemolytic anemia) that the blood clots weren't detected. God bless and again I am so sorry.
