A lawsuit was recently filed in Fresno, California, for the wrongful death of a beloved teacher who was a patient at St. Agnes Medical Center.
The suit claims the staff at the hospital is responsible for her untimely death and says medical negligence is the reason she is no longer able to be with the children she taught and served as an inspiration to.
Carole Brammer went to St. Agnes Medical Center to undergo a hernia operation last October, and according to reports, everything went well.
However, in her recovery process, Brammer developed a “super bug” known as MRSA, an infection which a month later took her life.
Brammer had served as a teacher at Fresno Unified for over 30 years and her family filed the suit against the medical center for cutting her life short.
The court papers say the staff at St. Agnes was negligent in caring for Brammer and as a result she became susceptible to the infection, which took over her body and her health.
According to reports, the hospital has a history of infection outbreaks and in May the state health department delayed all cardiac surgeries due to the increasing number of post operation infections that were occurring.
“When you have the state public health department suspending their right to conduct surgeries because of infections, I think the inference is there already, that the hospital was negligent,” says legal analyst, Tony Capozzi.
