My father died and based on what I am reading, I feel it was caused from tainted heparin that he received.Submitted 2008-04-30Defendant: Heparin Injections (contaminated syringes) My father passed away 4-6-08 after being given tainted heparin. He was sent home with a pic line for an infection that he had from a pressure sore. The home health pharmacy called us and told us there had been a recall on the heparin, stop using it right now. But this was mid March. From my understanding, the recall went out on 2/1/08. He had an infection but was up and talking to us. They had planned on putting a feeding tube in and sending him home the next day. Less than two days later he was curled up in a fetal position moaning and unresponsive. His blood turned acidic and they couldnt tell us why other than he had some sort of infection. He was throwing up blood, his throat was raw and bleeding, he had dark tarry stool, his blood pressure dropped and he ended up passing away. Based on what I am reading it seems he had many symptoms that I have seen described in various articles. Do you know what it does to a family to think we may have been giving him what ultimately killed him? It is torture, hell on Earth! -- Virginia |
