Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center: "Is it busy in the ER?" - Wendy
Jun 04, 2015, 9:52 PM
Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center: "
my twenty year old daughter who walked in into this facility (saint Marys regional medical center in Reno) with abdominal pain pain ended up having brain damage. and she is still languishing in CCU/ICU deprived of all her patient right. in her first weeks of her terrible ordeal there was a window of opportunity to improve her condition but instead she was left to deteriorate.the major example for this is, following her unexplained brain damage she had a brain swelling/edema. and as urgent as this condition was, it never been aggressively treated and the out come was a terrible tragedy of my daughters brain death.to make matter worse this hospital is not feeding my child for the past ten and they are actually threatening to take Aden off a life support without my wish/consent. Aden deserve to have a second opinion to find out what caused her brain death. how can a presumably healthy twenty year old walked into hospital and end up brain dead? why doctors are not explaining her condition, rather they really want family to make a life ending decision? Aden is about to get murdered by the very same people who sworn to preserve life. Aden needs help she can get as soon as possible.
