We will. I've spoken with enough professionals in the field to convert my suspicions to absolutes.

Hopefully it'll give y'all some sense of peace. I just can't imagine going through something like that. Keep giving us updates. We feel kinda vested in this too.

This is a "free standing ER" not an urgent care or clinic. The bag in his picture is a liter bag. No pump and no buretrol is sub standard. A new trend with these independent free standing ERs is to "obs" patients. Like a 23 hour observation status. Some of these are necessary and a nice thing to offer, but some are just a cash grab with ever changing give and take between insurance and health care. Obs on a pedi patient who looks like your boy did in that pic is just ridiculous.

The IVP could have been Glucagon? This medicine is only given with very low blood glucose levels. Giving glucagon to the kid in that picture is excessive.

Pressure bag? A pressure bag is foolish on a pedi patient. And to use it on an IV with questionable placement is lazy.


The cash of putting people in "obs status" causes some of these places to over reach.

Red, I know I am saying this all "matter of fact". Never lose the fact that I am so damned sorry for your loss.

Were you and your wife ever told what went wrong?
