Immunity for ER Doctors in Question
Posted on Feb 7, 2011 5:25pm PST
Two mothers are reportedly speaking to legislators in regard to immunity being granted to hospitals and ER doctors when they commit medical malpractice. One woman had a son who was told he had a virus and was then sent home. It turned out that he had a meningococcal infection and ended up losing his arms and legs to sepsis. The other woman had a child who injured himself. His doctor reportedly said it was a minor abrasion, but the child later suffered a stroke. Now the women do not want doctors to be given immunity when they are negligent in their care.
