A few months ago, 18-year-old Jack had sinus surgery at a surgical center in Dallas, Texas, USA. During the operation, his heart suddenly lost control and his blood pressure soared...
He was sent to the hospital ICU. His heart stopped beating for a while and he could only be intubated to maintain his life.
The doctor announced on the spot that Jack's survival rate was only 50%.
On the day of Jack's accident, the surgical center that performed his sinus surgery suddenly announced that all operations were suspended, and all the staff were investigated by the police...
Although Jack's family has always suspected that there was something inside the accident, because sinus surgery is just a low-risk ordinary surgery, he has always been strong...
, but they did not expect that Jack actually encountered a series of poison kills.
Before Jack's accident, there were several patients with abnormal jumps in the surgical center. The number of people transferred to the hospital for emergency treatment in August alone exceeded the entire year last year. Among the people who had the accident, there were always healthy center employees, anesthesiologist Melanie.
On the day of Melanie's accident, she took an intravenous bag from the hospital and took it home for use and died of cardiac arrest.
But no one except Melanie's husband had doubted the cause of her death.
On August 24, two months after her death, the day Jack's accident, her autopsy and toxicology test results came out.
report shows that Melanie's death was caused by the use of a lethal dose of bupivacaine . Forensics reported that the drug is rarely abused and is often used during anesthesia.
The hospital then began to be alert that the successive accidents might be human and decided to investigate in depth.
After checking the surveillance in recent months, they found a suspicious employee - Reinaldo, who is also an anesthesiologist.
In the surveillance video, Renaldo has often appeared alone in the corridor since May, looking around, and then changing the infusion bag. Shortly after each change, a patient had an abnormal heartbeat accident...
Once he saw no one around, he quietly put the intravenous infusion bag in his hand into the insulation cabinet contaminated by the drug.
Immediately after one hour, a 56-year-old female patient had a heart attack while undergoing plastic surgery...
Another operation was over, he hid the intravenous injection bag in a paper folder, clamped it tightly in his arm, and then put it in the insulation cabinet to adjust the bag.
A dozen minutes later, a 54-year-old female patient had an accident during plastic surgery...
Until the end of August, Reynaldo was quietly changing bags, allowing other doctors to use bags contaminated by fatal drugs, and it was a high frequency once to twice a week.
As long as he goes on vacation, there has been no similar accident in the hospital.
But Reynaldo's behavior has not been noticed by the hospital...
The hospital found an infusion bag with a small hole poked and anesthetic based on the surveillance, and immediately suspended all operations and called the police.
Then, Reynaldo was arrested by the police. After the police investigation, they found that Reynaldo had also carved many old cases...
html more than 120 years ago, he was arrested for committing violence against his ex-girlfriend and was accused of drugging by another nurse's ex-girlfriend.
In addition to violence against women, he has been punished by the medical committee twice, and a disciplinary investigation is underway.
The first time was because he shot the dog of his neighbor and was imprisoned for nearly a month, and the second time he made a mistake during rescue at the Garland Surgery Center.
After that time, Reinaldo gave up his "clinical privileges" and "medical staff membership"...
But for some reason, he successfully joined the surgical center where the incident happened and continued to practice. resulted in another error in May this year, resulting in the death of the patient, so he was subject to disciplinary investigation.
Colleague told the police that after the disciplinary investigation began, Reinaldo was upset and complained more than once that "the hospital supervisor would sentence me to death for the so-called accident."
It was May, and a heart abnormality surgery began to occur...
In addition, the police also found that Reynardo owed . The IRS has millions of dollars, but he has a house worth $1.3 million and five luxury cars... When he was arrested, he carried $7,000 in cash with him and was suspected to be preparing to run away.
Until now, Reinaldo has refused to plead guilty and is waiting for the lawyer to defend himself...
And after Jack's family was held accountable for exhaustion, they suffered consecutive blows due to the mistakes of the surgical center...
Not long after Jack's accident, his father received a promise from the surgical center - not to charge Jack any medical expenses and would waive the fees before the bill was sent.
Jack's family also sent a confirmation email to the center five days after the operation to ensure that the bill is not automatically generated.
Results This month, they still received a huge medical bill, with the cost as high as US$12,903...
Although the center finally apologized a few days ago and canceled the bill, it was undoubtedly sprinkled with another handful of salt on the wounds of Jack's family...
