COLUMBUS, Ohio - The widow of a man who died from what she said was the H1N1 flu said on Tuesday she was suing two central Ohio hospitals and dozens of health care workers.
According to the lawsuit, Kimberly Ward, the widow of Christopher Ward, said that her husband was misdiagnosed before he died, 10TV?s Paul Aker reported.
Ward?s family said that he was ?wrongfully discharged? and was not ?provided quality and appropriate medical treatment and care.?
His wife said that Ward, 33, was taken to the Fayette County Memorial Hospital in November 2009 with H1N1 symptoms and other complications, but was sent home.
In the lawsuit, Kimberly Ward said that her husband returned to the hospital and was taken by helicopter to Mount Carmel West Hospital in Columbus, and he died the next day.
The attorney for Ward?s widow said that Mount Carmel West had a resident in charge, who was unqualified.
