This happened to my cousin earlier this year. Her face was swollen and she couldn’t breathe. She was so sick, and yet they only gave her meds and send her home. We took her to the hospital 3 times, before she was finally admitted to the ER, then take to a room. Sadly she didn’t make it home. They gave her too much morphine and a relaxant drug that cause her heart to stop. She was 26 and did not have any heart problems. We are heart broken by her loss.
i worked at seattle children as a Program Manager! I am black( I had to quit) ; my other black colleague quit a month prior! RACISM is at the core of this organization!
Absolutely outrageous this is unforgivable. They swore an oath to-do-no harm. Hospitals can not and should not discriminate anyone, for any reason, under any circumstances. They failed their daughter, the parents, and their practice but in the end all the dirt will come out in the wash just you wait and see.
This is heartbreaking and Children’s Hospital is absolutely racist. They refused to treat one of my children and called the police trying to throw him out of the ER while he was still very sick saying he was fine to go home.
If you pause the video when they show her records, the drug named is lamotrigine, which is mostly prescribed for seizures or bipolar disorder (I looked it up online).
I really hope that racism didn't play a part in this. Unfortunately ER's are not where you go for long term care for a condition. The most they will do is diagnose a condition, give you immediate treatment for your symptoms and refer you to your primary care provider. I, a white female, went to the ER a few years back with shortness of breath and high fever. They did a chest X-ray on me and the Dr came in long enough to tell me I hand pneumonia and a partial collapse of one of my lungs. They sent me home with an inhaler and told me to make an appointment with my primary care provider. By the time I was able to get in to see my provider I had already mostly cleared the infection but my lungs was still partially collapsed which my PC had to treat. I don't understand why they didn't take their daughter to their PC to get better treatment options for their daughter being as the hospital did so little for her. I really hope they heal and can move past this. My heart goes out to them.
my daughter was at seattle children’s and at first the dr refused an x ray. i insisted kindly and low and behold it was pneumonia! he was ready to send me home! we were given antibiotics right there thank goodness but i wrote a letter and received a follow up email with more questions, to which i answered. when a dr doesn’t listen to a mother who knows her child it is absolutely absent of a clinical evaluation
They knew she had issues with her heart. I don't see how that's not grounds to be admitted to the hospital. This happened during covid. They only cared about covid patients and writing off deaths as covid related. I don't know if you live in north western WA, but I had issues seeing my primary doctor due to the influx of patients and lack of doctors. Still to till this day I have to wait two months to see my doctor.
The ER is not for long term care, however it’s their job to admit you if need be. You are then informed that your provider will be contacted. Thereafter, your provider will send referrals to specialists.
@moniquerapozo7665 I never said for long term care, but they could have assisted her. I have no medical background, but I know enough that heart conditions are serious.
This is such a tragic, horrible story. I don't know if racism was a factor or not--based on my own experiences over the last decade+, it seems like general negligence, disregard, dispassion, and right down to actual malpractice is the standard operating procedure in a large portion of the medical industry nowadays--but either way, someone should absolutely be held to account for the death of this poor girl and the grief her family has gone through over what could have been a treatable condition. Sending prayers to the family.
After reviewing the ‘Take Care of Maya’ case and John Hopkins’ actions, I am not surprised at this story. The attitudes of many health professionals is really disturbing.
Absolutely heartbreaking! So very sorry for such a tremendous loss in this lovely family. This report provided a beautiful tribute to a young lady gone too soon.
Omg, this is so upsetting as someone who believes in Children's Hospitals. I am very heartbroken to hear about this families experience. I pray they get justice for their beautiful little girl. This is truly terrible. i can't imagine these parents' heartache
These are side effects of Lamotrigine. Very serious side effects. Patients should be advised of these potential side effects when this is prescribed. Always review all your medication side effects with a pharmacist...so sorry for your loss...inexcusable...❤
Sounds like they still have that problem which is why I don't donate to that place at Panda Express. Just breaks my heart. Another poor family ripped acpart simply bc they're a little bit different than you are.
I pray that the family is able to receive generous compensation for their suffering (although money will never bring Sahana back), the family deserves it. I hope the mom knows that she didn’t fail her daughter, let her down, or blame herself. I also hope that the family finds healing and peace, because I can’t even imagine how traumatic this journey has been for them. I’m sending blessings their way! Sahana was such a beautiful and precious person, and her soul and her legacy will live on!
Sorry about your loss I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose a child as a parent who has children I love and adore children as if they were my own And I hope to have children someday I the nearby future 🙏

@@Sleepless_in206 thank you
I know the mother wouldn't read this. You didn't let your daughter down. The hospital let you down and your daughter down.
Omg this is so so very sad…may her family find peace

Seattle children’s is creepy …
This is heartbreaking and Children’s Hospital is absolutely racist. They refused to treat one of my children and called the police trying to throw him out of the ER while he was still very sick saying he was fine to go home.
Horrible outcome. Which drug did the girl have an allergic reaction to in the first place?

What was happening to Sahana looks quite serious, but it doesn't sound as though these professionals took those symptoms seriously enough.
Disgusting! They became doctors to save lives. How could they let this happen?
How could it have been an inconvenience to admit her to the hospital?
This is a very sad situation.Prayers to her family
Absolutely heartbreaking! So very sorry for such a tremendous loss in this lovely family. This report provided a beautiful tribute to a young lady gone too soon.
I have seen similar treatments from them. Charged 17k to my insurance with no solution to my child’s situation. Very bad system!

They should have took her records to her PCM. The ER has no responsibility to do a follow up on an ER visit once discharged.
They should name the doctors and nurses that treated their daughter
So sad she had to suffer and got no relief. Rip you’re not in pain anymore 😢😔
Sounds like they still have that problem which is why I don't donate to that place at Panda Express. Just breaks my heart. Another poor family ripped acpart simply bc they're a little bit different than you are.

A reminder to check for second opinions, if the current option isn’t working out.
How could the doctors let this happen?
I wonder if medicaid also encouraged this. Or other medical insurance
They cannot admit to anything they don’t think is wrong… sneaky sneaky … gross…
Despicable. I hope they own the hospital at the end of their lawsuit!
Sorry about your loss I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose a child as a parent who has children I love and adore children as if they were my own And I hope to have children someday I the nearby future 🙏
The Wikipedia page on the DRESS syndrome gives clarification on the issue for those interested.
I am so sorry that this happened... continue to fight.
It really does hurt when the patient is ignored and not heard.
💔😢
Was Sahanna a trans kiddo? Did that play a part on this?
WTF is wrong with you?
❤❤❤
They should Sue
Doesn’t surprise me
😢
Shut it down
Lies
Am not that even in 2024 racism alive and well
