Wrongful Death from Medical Malpractice in DC, Maryland and Virginia

Wrongful death is a term that we use to describe a death that could have been prevented if not for the negligence and malpractice of a physician or hospital, HMO, or other type of healthcare facility in D.C., Maryland or Virginia.  And here is a story of wrongful death due to medical malpractice and what happened to Carrie DeJongh, an Iowa woman who died of anaphylactic shock after coming to the hospital for a routine MRI.

She was forty years old and left a husband and four children behind.

Carrie was allergic to the contrast dye that they used in her MRI, which would not have been lethal but the doctor failed to administer epinephrine, which could have reversed the allergic shock. This is a violation of what are called "Patient Safety Rules."  They are rules, or standards that govern medical treatment (what doctors, hospitals, HMOs, doctors and nurses are supposed to do under the circumstances) and keep patients safe.
