So you have the cause of death stating it was a fatal coronary? And other medical evidence that shows the hospital made mistakes. Nope, just more speculation and talk of lawyers getting involved. I am not saying it isn't possible or likely, but you guys are acting like its already a proven fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll let the lawyers provide the proof of incompetence, which I have no doubt they will before the inept hospital insurer settles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him dying of heart disease after coming in reporting chest pains is hardly evidence of incompetence. He stayed overnight and they ran tests. Not like they shoved him out the ER without doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you sound like someone who is completely devoid of all empathy/emotion, and just wired to argue about anything.. Your only posts in this thread are argumentative towards other users, and none actually having anything to do with the passing of this gentleman. Pretty telling. If your mother went to the hospital for chest pains, and was released later that day before dying of heart complications 2 days later, i'm sure you'd feel the hospital had no responsibility for taking the evaluations more seriously? I'm sorry, but it's not like he went in for foot pain, and had an aneurysm 2 days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody's dead and your first reaction is about a lawsuit against the hospital? Oh you threw in at the end of your post RIP so that makes you a feeling individual while I'm cold-hearted. I guess if I had started with RIP then I'd have the moral high ground..... Expressing my condolences here is pointless, I doubt Sparano's family or friends are on this forum. Accusing the hospital of negligence with the few facts that we know is pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Billy said, I don't know where you get the notion I said anything about a lawsuit. I was misdiagnosed once when I had a bleeding ulcer (they thought I had a tear in my esophagus, lol), and I almost died as a result of it, so I've personally experienced hospital negligence. When I fainted from blood loss a couple days after being released, the second hospital I went to found out what was going on immediately. Ironically, the first hospital I had visited was supposed to be 'the best in the county.' I never ONCE thought about suing the hospital because of it, even though I accumulated a ton more medical bills and had to pay for an ambulance ride because of their mistakes.

My mistake you didn't mention a lawsuit, but your comment sure implied the hospital did something wrong. My father was misdiagnosed with something too, we were told it was something correctable and he'd be fine. He died not long after from liver cancer. We didn't sue either. This was at the Cleveland Clinic, one of the best anywhere. Dcat was also on the "hospital screwed up" line. I overreacted, to what I saw as overreaction and jumping to conclusions. My bad. I'm done.

stethant Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 RIP Tony Sparano. I've had friends send patients out of the hospital who it turns out were having an acute MI - they have never felt worse in their careers. Sometimes these situations are complicated and you can't predict the bad outcome...and sometimes it's just straight-up negligence. The facts will come out and things will settle one way or the other but it will do little to make the family feel any better about this. My condolences to his family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
