The defense in a medical malpractice case sought to show Tuesday that a number of factors, including pre-existing conditions, were at least in part to blame for a deceased man’s pressure ulcers.
An attorney for a woman suing medical care facilities for failing to properly diagnose and treat her now-deceased father’s pressure ulcers, questioned a former director of nursing for one of the defendants during the third day of the malpractice trial.
The adult daughter of a man whose nine months prior to his death were allegedly spent in pain and agony spoke about her father’s better days July 21, during the first day of testimony in a medical malpractice case pitting the family of a deceased man against a handful of medical facilities and a nursing home.
A two-year old case in which relatives of a now-deceased man are suing medical care facilities for injuries suffered by their loved one relating to his development of pressure ulcers has finally come to trial, but proceedings have been slow to get started.
Trial is expected to get under way July 18 in the case of a family suing on behalf of their elderly relative whose death they attribute to poor medical care.
