UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- A western Pennsylvania woman who drank herself unconscious celebrating her 20th birthday says a hospital didn't properly treat her, resulting in partial amputations of both of her legs.
Shanna Hiles' medical malpractice suit against Uniontown Hospital and one of its emergency physicians says she passed out while sitting on the floor with her legs tucked under her in May, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Hiles was in that position for more than 12 hours, and she claims hospital officials didn't properly diagnose her condition and work to restore circulation to her legs.
Instead, Hiles claims she was transferred to a Pittsburgh hospital several hours later where both legs were amputated at the knee.

perhaps she should have tried not to drink herself into unconsciousness. :roll:

Perhaps you are right, spam. But back when I was a young un, I was known to drink my face off, at least a couple of times. I was damn lucky. This young woman wasn't.

Well spammy if she lost her legs due to getting so drunk, alone, that she sat cross legged for 12 hours, it must be everyone's fault but her own. Right?

Whose fault was it that she got drunk? It seems to me that if you drink to excess, you take your chances and bear the consequences.
Hospital staff should know better than to let someone unconscious remain motionless for more than 4 hours, though. They are ordinarily cautious about bed sores.

I think she was passed out for 12 hours then brought to the hospital, not sitting on the floor of the hospital passed out for 12 hours.

Must have a liar that works on commission.

one other thing that has me confused, what happened to all the friends and family members that attended the party? why didn't any of them help her? :-?
