My wife with CHF was disharged from hospital with 15 lbs fluid and collapsed while leaving and had to be revived not breathing

I am terribly sorry to hear about these problems. It appears there may be a couple of claims, one against medtronic for product liability ( the failure of the device when your wife was in Little Rock) and a malpracrice claim agaisnt the hospital. I would be happy to offer a consultation.

This answer is made educational purposes only. By using or participating in this site you understand that there is no attorney client privilege between you and the attorney responding.

You need to speak with a Dallas area medical malpractice attorney. To determine if there is malpractice, all medical records will need to be reviewed by an M.D. to see if there is negligence on part of a treating doctor and/or hospital and nurses.

To prevail on a medical malpractice claim, one must show the healthcare provider did not practice medicine within the required standard of medical care owed to your wife and this failure was the cause of your wife's injuries and damages.

Compensable damages for your wife include: medical bills, future medical care costs; lost wages; inability to work in the future, pain, mental anguish, impairment and disfiguement. You may entitled to compensatory damages for loss of consortium, which is compensation for the effect on your relationship with your wife.
