Case Details
Twenty-nine year old single mother of four died following surgical complications from a gastric bypass at Jacobi Medical Center. Several months after giving birth to her fourth child and struggling to lose weight, this mother underwent surgery for weight reduction and developed a severe post-operative infection with leakage of feces into her peritoneal cavity, which progressed to sepsis and peritonitis, all of which the young resident physicians failed to diagnose and timely report to the attending physician, contrary to stated hospital policy.
