Why Did My Husband Have A Stroke During Surgery?

Medical and surgical procedures always carry risks.  These possible complications were probably explained to you and your spouse.  However, things can go wrong even under an experienced doctor.  One of the most dangerous medical complications a person can experience is a stroke.

What Causes a Stroke?

A stroke is a disruption of blood flow in part of the brain.  Many health issues can cascade into this devastating medical emergency.  Some common causes are long-term high blood pressure, genetic abnormalities that affect the way the blood vessels formed, clots that break off elsewhere in the body and get stuck in the brain, and sometimes, medical malpractice.

Did Your Spouse Suffer a Stroke in the Hospital?

Many things may have led to your spouse's stroke, from a previously unknown medical issue to unforeseen complications and sometimes, doctor error.  These physicians are only human, and sometimes mistakes can happen during or after your spouse's hospital procedures.  Unfortunately, those mistakes can be both costly and life-threatening.

Was Your Loved One Injured By Medical Malpractice?

If your spouse was injured by or passed away from their stroke, you may find yourself facing a gauntlet of medical bills, lost wages or loss of employment, and intense pain and suffering.  If this was caused by a doctor's mistake, you deserve financial support as you deal with all those issues.  Pursuing a malpractice claim may also assure that the medical error isn't repeated, sending another family down the same harrowing road.
