ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Sanford mother says she will never be able to
hold her newborn because an Orlando hospital performed a
life-altering surgery and, she claims, the hospital refuses to
explain why they left her as a multiple amputee.
The woman filed a complaint against Orlando Regional Healthcare
Systems, she said, because they won't tell her exactly what
happened. The hospital maintains the woman wants to know
information that would violate other patients' rights.
Claudia Mejia gave birth eight and a half months ago at Orlando
Regional South Seminole. She was transported to Orlando Regional
Medical Center in Orlando where her arms and legs were amputated.
She was told she had streptococcus, a flesh eating bacteria, and
toxic shock syndrome, but no further explanation was given.
The hospital, in a letter, wrote that if she wanted to find out
exactly what happened, she would have to sue them.
"I want to know what happened. I went to deliver my baby and I came
out like this," Mejia said.
Mejia said after she gave birth to Mathew last spring, she was kept
in the hospital with complications. Twelve days after giving birth
at Orlando Regional South Seminole hospital, she was transported to
Orlando Regional Medical Center where she became a quadruple
amputee. Now she can not care for or hold her baby.
"Yeah, I want to pick him up. He wants me to pick him up. I can't.
I want to, but I can't," she said. "Woke up from surgery and I had
no arms and no legs. No one told me anything. My arms and legs were
just gone." Report con't
