If anyone wants to give me their personal interpretations, I'd appreciate it.

From what I understood of it, my mother's operation was unneccesary. They put a stent in her heart just to relieve back pain that was coronary related. Then the doc didn't give her plavacid (sp?) twice a day to compensate for the fact that she was allergic to aspirin. So the stent closed within a couple of weeks. The doctor broke the artery trying to get it open. She died three days later, after he installed a pace maker.

I should have paid closer attention to the faces of the nurses. They were the only tip off that something went wrong. The siblings that knew what was going on, were tightlipped, and to this day, haven't given me a blow by blow detail of what they knew, and when they knew it.

Don't ask why we didn't pursue this legally. I'll just offer that the legal system doesn't get too excited when the awards won't be high.
