At Anderson Hospital in IL, 3 doctors and the hospital are being accused for causing the death of Frankie Mae Stokes. While receiving care at Anderson Hospital, she received abdominal and ulcer infections, which eventually was the cause of her death. Anderson Hospital acted negligent when they did not foreseen, treat, or acknowledge that the infection was occurring. They had a duty to Stokes to prevent further injury and they failed to provide that care to Stokes. The doctors associated with providing treatment to Stokes also acted negligent because they did not provide the proper care needed in a timely fashion to prevent such infections that eventually lead to Stokes’s death. The doctors were negligent because they failed to correctly diagnose, failed to timely treat the infection, failing to recognize the symptoms, and failure to provide her with proper treatment. The family’s lawyer that is representing her is seeking a settlement of $200,00 plus costs. This is an unfortunate situation, however it shows that hospitals and doctors can and do make mistakes. Wrongful death cases are a very trying time to the families of the deceased and can take a lot of courage to come out about the incident.
