Abilene Regional Medical Center: DID THEY COMMIT MURDER???

Should a hospital and or physicians be charged with assault or even murder when going against a patient's request not to be given a certain drug? Should patients and their families overlook this as "just a mistake." I don't think so. Has this happened before? According to numerous families I have spoken with, there are far too many mistakes being made at Abilene Regional Medical Center.
When a mistake is made, is it right for a hosptial such as Abilene Regional Medical Center to ignore a patient's family and the questions they have?
The truth is Abilene Regional Medical Center is very fearful of a lawsuit. After all, they are the first and only to bring it up. They know this is going to be very public and they will continue to receive negative publicity. Mike Murphy, you claim to have an open door policy when questions or conflict arise. Are you going to come forward and discuss this????? If not, please update your website and admit you will dodge any questions a family may have regarding mistakes you make at your hospital.
Also, when you place an ad for help wanted, you can add, CRIMINALS ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY.
You can't deny it. I have a list of names of the employees with criminal records employed by your hospital. Maybe that explains why there are so medical mistakes and victims at your hospital. Maybe they aren't mistakes.
If the attorney for ARMC is reading this, it has been several weeks since you contacted me and claimed you are arranging a meeting with the staff at ARMC. I am still waiting.

It’s really unfair. The Abilene Regional Medical Center should be careful to minimize the frequent occurrence of medical errors which put patients at risk of death. Hospitals offer the best hope for the seriously ill or injured to receive the medical assessment and treatment that is necessary to protect their health and to prevent an untimely passing. At least that is what patients are counting on in the time of urgent health needs. They trust that the extensive training and strict professional oversight require of the doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals will be enough to limit or eliminate the potential for adverse health effects to arise. But medical malpractice is a too frequent occurrence and stands as serious threat to patient safety. When medical malpractice causes death, a family or estate can bring a claim of wrongful death against the doctor that messed up. The cause of the wrongful death would be the negligence or error on the part of the doctor. For more information visit Clinical Negligence .

About Me

Abilene, Texas, United States
My name is Gary Reed and I live in Abilene, Texas. In 2007, my mother was in Abilene Regional Medical Center. She and her family had repeatedly instructed the physicians and hospital staff NOT to give a specific drug (procrit)to her as it was the cause of her being there in the first place. However, she was injected with the drug again, sent to CCU, and never recovered. Since then, I have met with numerous other families who have reported similiar experiences with Abilene Regional Medical Center. For one year, I have attempted to dicuss this with ARMC staff and physicians and they have refused. I have also spoken with the attorney for the hospital in Houston, Texas. He admitted there were problems at the hospital and they would be contacting me soon to discuss these issues. It never happened. I will share as much information as possible here. Some I will not share at this time. If you or someone you know has experienced problems with this hospital, please contact me at: gnr99a@hotmail.com
