Woman blames hospital in Brooklyn for the death of her child

A woman who lost her baby in the eighth month of pregnancy blames the hospital Mount sinaiwho cared more about completing the documentation and kept her in the hospital than rescued a dying child. This tells New York Post with reference to legal action.

Jana diaz enrolled in Mount Sinai's Midwoodthat in Brooklyn, around one in the morning on December 13 2016 of the year. She started having contractions and bleeding.

Since the hospital did not have a maternity ward and no special staff, she had to wait for 90 minutes for the emergency doctor. Dr. Thomas Fuchs gave her a vaginal examination and pulled out a mucus plug from her. While the baby’s heart rate dropped to 104, the medical staff seemed to be obsessed with filling out documents, not caring for patients, Dias argues.

“Her case was a clear obstetric emergency. Her heart rate was dropping and doctors had to perform a Caesarean section immediately,” Diaz's lawyer, Jeffrey Guzman, said.

However, the hospital management insisted on transporting the patient to the central hospital on the Upper East Side, about an hour away.

“I said I wanted to transfer to any other hospital in Brooklyn. I was concerned that Manhattan was too far away. They said I had to be in their network of medical facilities,” Diaz said. - I was just waiting. I was in the waiting area on a stretcher."

Instead of calling 911 and taking her faster by ambulance to the nearest hospital, the hospital was waiting for her ambulance to take her to Manhattan hospital, Guzman said.

Diaz added that she had to wait until 3: 45 in the morning, and she only got to the Manhattan office at 4: 40 in the morning — almost 4 hours after seeking medical help.

“My baby had no heartbeat at 5 a.m.,” Diaz said.

Guzman added that the refusal to call 911 and transfer Diaz to the nearest hospital is a major part of malpractice.

Lawsuit charges Mount Sinai's Midwood and Dr. Fuchs in "negligence, recklessness and carelessness."

“I completely trusted the hospital, and they treated me in the most terrible way. My only son is gone now. Someone needs to be held accountable for this,” Diaz said.

Mount Sinai's Midwood meanwhile, she said: “We deeply condole with the family of Diaz at this tragic time. Out of respect for the privacy of the patient, we will not disclose the details of this case and give further comments. ”

At the same time, the lawyers of the medical institution filed court documents refuting the claim of abuse of official position.
