Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New York
punch in heart
My husband was punched in his heart while sleeping in his hospital bed. The doctor thought he was having a cardiac arrest, but read the monitor incorrectly. My husband died a few days after he was punched. He bled from his rectum; the blood was dark, which means it came from the upper g.i. My husband had a 6.3 anuryism in his arota near his heart. I believe he accidently killed my dear husband. Do I have a case?

Re: punch in heart
Because the doctor was negligent in reading the cardiac monitor he was negligent in the treatment. Your husband died. Assuming that the punch caused the death (proximate cause) you have an excellent action.

You may have a case but the records would have to be reviewed. What part of NY are you in?
Re: punch in heart
You may indeed have a cause of action against the cardiologist. But, I would need to review your medical records and submit them to my expert. If you are in the New York Metro-Area, I would like to talk to you further about this case.
