First, I am sorry for the situation you are in and hope that since I am answering this question late that you have found peace with the medical providers involved. God bless you and your family.
There are not enough medical facts for me to determine whether the lack of communication between the medical providers caused or significantly contributed to causing the need for life support. Certainly if the nurses or attending physicians failed to diagnose a change in your wife's condition that resulted in worsening or causing the need for life support you may have a valid claim. When your situation allows you to add information I would be happy to answer your questions. Betsey Herd Tampa, Florida 813-597-3000

More information is needed to determine whether you have a valid medical malpractice claim. I would want to know the age of the person on life support, and the information that the doctors failed to communicate that was so critical to sustaining the patient. This may be a good claim for medical malpractice, but we need more information.
