Claimant says:
"On July 2, 2012 my wife was checked into the hospital and diagnosed with Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Her immune system was attacking her platelets. July 3,2012 my wife was told that she had zero platelets. So they gave her steroids to stop the immune system and platelet injections. During the week of this treatment she complained about headaches and was given codone and narco to help her sleep.

On Sunday, July 8, 2012 she was told her platelets were good enough for her to go home and she would be treated as an outpatient basis.

On Monday, July 9th, I got a phone call that she had a stroke and was being transferred to the Main Methodist Neuro ICU. When I got there, I talked to doctor Holohan who was the lead doctor. There was a team of 4 doctors treating her. Dr. Holohan told me that he didn't understand how this could happen when her platelet count was good. I told him that my wife had been complaining about a headache all week. He got a surprised look on his face and put both hands on his cheeks and told me that he was unaware that she had a headache.

In their treatment and checks to see if it was they did a sonogram on her abdomen and multiple blood samples. A CAT scan on her head was not done until after the stroke. My point is that if she was breaking blood vessels all over her body including her face and mouth. What is to say she wasn't already bleeding in the brain and they didn't check it until after the stroke.

A long and painful story short. On July 19, 2012 she passed away because the bleeding could not be stopped and it built up so much pressure on her brain stem that she became brain dead and was put on life support.

All of this could of been prevented had the multiple doctors communicated what was going on with the headaches and someone should of ordered a CAT scan prior to the stroke. Medicine was prescribed for the headache. Someone knew about that but didn't tie the potential stoke issue to what was going on with her immune system.

I have written a timeline of every day she was in the hospitals and my son has added his notes from the time he spent with my wife. He spent the nights at the ICU hospital.

Other issues are 1) When I asked for the hospital records, I was given a run around and had to get a lawyer involved to get them released to me. $800 and many weeks later I finally got the records. In the lawyers opinion he told me that the records were "cleaned" up. Everything looked too good.
2) It took many phone calls to the doctors offices to get someone to sign the death certificate. The funeral home commented that it doesn't usually take this long.

All this smells very fishy. In the lawyers opinion none of this looks good but the doctors in Texas will not testify against other doctors in Texas. He thought I had a case but that it would be very hard to prove without another doctors help. I asked many other lawyers and they all turned me down or didn't even want to look at it. My wife died. If she would of been injured they would of took the case.
