woman become amputee x4 after giving birth. Hospital to blame?

I saw her on the new several months ago. It is indeed horribly tragic. It seems shady that she can't get any information. I seem to remember she had a loving supportive husband.

OMG. What the heck happened. Did they amputate her without consent? How did she catch this bacteria. What about other patients in Orlando Regional? Did they catch it too? This is crazy

Here is a thread with discussion about this tragic event (includes above link):

Just curious - is this an HCA facility? Seems they have the worse care I have ever heard of so I just thought I'd ask. I know I'll never work for them again.

Boy this really drives home the importance of good infection control practices!

Amen to that! It sure does!

There are things worse than death.

They would not cut off my appendages.

How horrible, I agree with Tweety, something seems wrong that the hospital will not give her any information about what happened and why she needed to have this done to her!
