Identity Mix-Up may be Medical Malpractice Case
Posted on Mar 26, 2010 3:30pm PDT
A woman was admitted to a hospital when she was having trouble breathing. The mix-up occurred when the family called to find out how she was doing and a hospital employee informed the family that she had passed away. However, the woman had just been moved to another room, and the family discovered the mix-up when they went to the hospital to make funeral preparations. The woman’s great-granddaughter was traumatically shocked when she touched the “dead” woman who then moved. This situation may lead to a medical malpractice case.
