A woman in western Pennsylvania who fell into a coma after celebrating her birthday claims a hospital did not properly care for her. She says that the hospital’s neglect resulted in partial amputation of both of her legs.
Shanna Hiles, 20, is suing Uniontown Hospital and one of its emergency room physicians. Hiles says she passed out while sitting on the floor of the emergency room in May of this year. She was in that position for more than 12 hours. Hiles claims hospital personnel did not properly diagnose her and help restore circulation to her legs.
Hiles says she was later transferred to a hospital in Pittsburgh hours later where both legs were amputated at the knee. The first hospital has not made any statement on the case.
