My brother passed on the 3rd

[Loop]

My brother made it through chemo and stem cell transplant and was doing pretty good gaining strength and even getting out and fishing some, but he wanted to have his hernia fixed, we tried to talk him out of it but he kept on until one of the drs agreed and he got it done. He kept saying the nurses said they would keep him in hospital for three days at least but I told him they rarely keep you more then one, the dr sent him home the same day, that night he started having severe pain, I tried to get him to walk and keep an ice pack on it but he said he was having too much pain. He called an ambulance and went back to hospital. They kept telling me "the nurses" that all the tests and xrays were normal, but he was in bad pain and kept throwing up, I kept asking the nurse when was the dr coming in that I wanted to talk to him and kept calling the nurses, this went on for four days... With him throwing up and not able to use the bathroom, I told them he needed something to help him go.
On the fourth day the dr finally called me "after my brother called and said he had tore the stitch's open" the dr said he was going to take my brother into surgery the next evening between twelve and three, so I assumed we my brother must not be in that much danger since he is putting the surgery off..
That night at four in the morning the nurse called and told us we needed to come in at once that my brother had taken a turn for the worse and when I asked what that MEant she said she wasn't aloud to say. It of course gave me a very bad feeling, by the time we got about four miles the dr himself called and said my brother had passed away that they had worked with him for more then 35 minutes, he said the nurse found him unresponsive..
When we got to the hospital the nurse there said that he started talking out of his head and it went worse, yet they didn't call at that time, I'm angry and hurt.. They had me constantly getting after him saying the only thing that was wrong was he wasn't getting up and walking, so my brother was mad at me for the last four days of his life, i'm devastated …

Oh, Loop...I'm at a loss for words. Such a sad, sad situation your brother experienced and apparently didn't get the help necessary to relieve the pain.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and am hoping the Good Lord will comfort you following your time of grieving. I'm so sorry....

I am at a loss for words on this one. All of you went through so much with the cancer, and his reservations....and then this???? I am so hurt with all of you, my sweet sister.
I am lifting you all up in prayer.

I am so sorry, Loop. I know you have anger and pain. Even hurt along with the grief. Don't let it eat you up. Remember that you did the best you could do with what information you had. Your brother isn't suffering any longer.He wouldn't want you to suffer. Just treasure the good memories and the love.
I didn't tell everyone what I went through with my mom. It wasn't the cancer that took her, but sepsis. I had all the feelings you are going through. Still working through it. I have anger at the dr.'s for that last week.
It has only been a month and a half.Staying busy helps, and knowing God knew what was coming before I ever drew breath on this Earth. He allowed this for reasons we will see one day. We see as if through a dark glass for now. Praying you will feel peace over this soon.

I want to thank everyone for the Prayers, it is really needed and so much appreciated... In the last eight years, both my parents and oldest and now youngest brother has gone to be with the Lord. Only my middle oldest brother and me is left .

I am very sorry for your loss Loop. If you feel up to it, and you have prayed and feel it is ok with the Lord, you may want to talk to a lawyer and bring a suit against the hospital and doctor. Not as a vendetta, but so that they will change their methods and ways and procedures, so that no one else might have to go through this. It seems to me like there was negligence here. It might be that, because you both were Christians, and have a peaceful demeanor in the face of trials or even crises, they did not take the signals of the seriousness of the matter. No excuse; it seems to me that they failed, and that they should be held responsible in some way. But I advise you to pray about what I am saying here. If you bring it to level of seeing a lawyer, see what they have to say as well.
