Re: CA nurse assistant in vegetative state denied care after being attacked at hospit
I don't see what the confusion is amongst the insurance companies, the hospital or workmans comp. I t is so ridiculiously simple- and I know they have physician consultants employed for them. a person sustains a blow to the head,the brain is a closed contained compartment, it will only accept a certain amount of pressure(intracrainial pressure) any little sepage of fluid into that compartment causes the intracranial pressure to rise( increased ICP) which can be blood or CSF( shearing forces cause this- cou and contacou, the brain goes foreward and then backward- this is BASIC critical care neurology, ripping and tearing ) in this case it sounds like blood seeped into the subarachnoid spaces and increased the pressure- she had a HEMORRAGIC stroke-can and should have been picked up on a CT scan ( should have been first on the list in the ER- part of the AHA stroke protocal, when she went to the hospital complaining of a headache and not feeling well, the increase in intracrainal pressure caused blood pressure to rise- part of Cushing's triad, the subarachnoid could not absorb the blood fast enough to balance the ICP( this is not a pre-existing HTN condition it's a pre-exsting neglegent condition) are you kidding me. What is wrong with these big heathcare businesses, more money in some CEO's pocket he/she doesn't want to let go of!!!
