Death caused by chest drain adjustment?!
Question: Death caused by chest drain adjustment!?
My mother died 6 weeks ago when her chest drain was moved!. It apparently had adhered to her lung and moving it tore a hole in her lung which killed her instantly!. Has anyone heard of this happening before!? Is it common or uncommon what other questions should we ask at the inquest into her death!?
she did have emphysema, and was in hospital with pneumonia, but was improved and expected to recover!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all I am sorry for your loss,
I have never heard of this before so I would ask if it has happened at the hospital and if the doctor has ever seen it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
