16-Year-Old Dies From Suffocation At Hospital | Daytona Beach Medical Malpractice Lawyer
A 16-year-old girl died from suffocation after hospital nurses sedated her. The girl, Alexis Richie, was in an adolescent psychiatric ward when she tried to attack the staff by biting and scratching. They proceeded to pin her face down on a bean bag chair to inject a sedative. Once sedated, the child was left alone and no one checked on her until several minutes later. It was determined the cause of death was suffocation. The incident was ruled a homicide.

Medical Malpractice
- My wife died from a pulmonary embolism ten days after give birth to our child by c-section. We told her doctors and nurses at follow-up appointments about her leg swelling. We called her Ob/Gyn two days before that but he never returned our call.
Her doctors and nurses knew my wife was at risk for pulmonary embolism and that she was overweight. No one examined anything but her swollen ankles at the follow-up appointment. They didn't run tests on her heart, lungs or chest. They didn't check her pedal pulse like I read they should do. This has got to be medical malpractice, right?
- My right lateral femoral cutaneous nerve was damaged during my hysterectomy. I am experiencing much pain now and it's so difficult to walk that I can't work in my sales position any more. My follow up exams found that my nerve is not severed. However, my EMG was quite abnormal. Is this the surgeon's fault?
