He arrived at the ER in a matter of minutes. The physician examining Mr. Wilkins determined that he had high blood pressure and a low hemoglobin count, both of which he did not normally suffer, indicating that he had an immediate and critical problem. Despite the fact that the ER was relatively empty, Mr. Wilkins did not receive prompt attention. He was left alone with a technician for more than two hours, who allegedly failed to notice that the monitors attached to Mr. Wilkins were not even registering. Finally, a vascular surgeon arrived and, upon examination, immediately ordered Mr. Wilkins into surgery. He lived through the surgery but died in ICU when he was taken off life support without the prior approval of the family. The medical records stated “patient left to die.”
