Lawsuits Against Holy Cross Hospital
In 2018 a medical malpractice lawsuit was filed against Holy Cross Hospital in Montgomery County Circuit Court. According to the claim, a baby born there prematurely was sent home after an eight-week recovery from breathing issues. However, shortly after leaving the hospital, the infant developed an upper respiratory infection and was returned to the hospital for an exam. Despite a history of premature birth and breathing problems that put the baby at high risk for life-threatening complications from the infection, Holy Cross doctors discharged her home without ordering any diagnostic testing.
Soon after arriving back home, the infant began to experience severe congestion and labored breathing. Less than a day later, she stopped breathing and was transported via ambulance to Washington Adventist Hospital where she was pronounced dead. The lawsuit alleges that this devastating outcome could have been prevented if Holy Cross doctors had observed an appropriate standard of care for a high-risk infant with a respiratory illness and requested diagnostic imaging to confirm if her lungs were stable before discharging her.
