WTF. So the woman gives birth, has no arms or legs, and when she asks what the hell happened.. "Oh, we can't tell you that. You're asking for information that would violate other patients' rights."

[espressive]

SUE THE FREAKIN HOSPITAL!
that's my two cents.

but seriously, her body must be seriously worn out. she just gave birth and then she became a basketcase in less than 2 weeks. oh, and i have a question that needs clarification. don't patients usually have to sign consent forms for surgeries? maybe i watch too much grey's anatomy & house.

Mejia said after she gave birth to Mathew last spring, she was kept in the hospital with complications. Twelve days after giving birth at Orlando Regional South Seminole hospital, she was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center where she became a quadruple amputee. Now she can not care for or hold her baby.

This time gap is confusing, since the article doesn't fill it with any kind of useful information =|.

Then again, if she was affected with necrotzing fasciitis chances are that she spent those days under antibiotic treatment and/or went under surgery prior suffering the final amputation of her limbs. Keep in mind this affection has a mortality rate of 25% when treated properly, peeking at close to 98% when lacking proper medical attention.

Still, unless the Hospital is trying to cover its back from something along the lines of the patient becoming infected during the birth labor, there's no ethical reason to prevent the woman from seeing her medical records.
