In this case, the patient was at a local hospital and because of a medical condition, was unable to swallow.  Her medical orders required feeding only through a feeding tube.  Disregarding orders, a hospital nurse entered the patient’s room and feed her a chicken sandwich and other food by mouth.  As a result of her inability to swallow, a piece of chicken lodged in her throat, causing suffocation and an agonizing choking death.   There were multiple witnesses to this occurrence.  Regardless of having actual knowledge of how she died, the hospital reported that the patient died of natural cardiac causes.  An autopsy was performed that directly contradicts the hospital and attributes the cause of death to choking and found food lodged in her throat.
At Susan E. Loggans & Associates, P.C., we believe that everybody deserves proper medical care and honesty in their medical records.  We are pleased to assist the family of this patient in obtaining justice for this senseless medical error.

Susan E. Loggans & Associates is fighting for the rights of consumers that have been betrayed by this product. In one case, the client had a revision surgery during which it was discovered the metal caused the tissue surrounding the implant to turn green. The short and long term risks to patients with this device are profound and range from organ failure to tissue death in the area of the implant. If you have been injured by the failure of an implanted device or currently have a DePuy ASR hip replacement system in place, contact us immediately. The law may limit the time you have to file a claim for just compensation.
