QUESTION

Heart transplant

Asked on Apr 16th, 2016 on Medical Malpractice - Florida
More details to this question:
My husband needs a heart transplant. We went to a hospital which could provide this service. He went through all the testing. He was told by the dr that everything looked great. It was not until 2 days before he was to be presented to the medical review board that we were told that because of the blood flow in his legs that he would probably be turned down. No one had ever mentioned this before, did not know that this would be a problem. After this facility turned him down we went to another facility and they agreed with the previous one. Now after doing research I have found that the 1st facility should have known from the beginning that this was a problem since they did testing on him the 1st day he was there and had other exams that were done prior. We have now wasted 3 months that maybe we could have spent doing quality things in life instead of testing and doctors visits.
