The Orlando Regional Medical Center has a Consumer Report Rating of 51/100, with low ratings for avoiding readmission, communication about hospital discharge, communication about drug information, and avoiding surgery-related death. These are all alarming failures in duty and entirely unacceptable. Not surprisingly, Orlando Regional Medical Center has also been involved in medical malpractice lawsuits.
In 2009, an infection malpractice lawsuit was filed for the patient. After the delivery of her second child, the patient had a rash, chills, and fever among many other symptoms, but her complaints were disregarded and she was discharged. However, she refused to leave and doctors eventually found that she had gangrene and Group A Streptococcal infection, necessitating the amputation of all her limbs to prevent her from dying. She was ultimately awarded an undisclosed settlement. However, a similar case that same year yielded a $17.5 million award.
When a patient is admitted to a hospital, that facility is responsible for their life and is expected to uphold a standard of care. Unfortunately, many medical professionals act negligently when caring for patients, leading to devastating results. You have a right to hold them liable and seek compensation for your damages.
