Justice for Mary Clara, stop Physician Neglect of Senior Citizens

The Issue

My Mother was neglected by her Primary Physcian by not recommending her to a Nephrologist when in kidney failure in 2011.  Took a consultation with an Oncologist in August 2013 where her blood pressure was 200/144 and he informed me she was going to have a stroke or is in kidney failure.  Take her to the ER and then she was diagnosed there and her Primary was called down.  Heard him tell the ER Doctor that he "screwed up".  What was that?  He just wrote her off due to her age.  She was of sound mind and did have the usual health issues but she went to her appointments and took her medicine as directed. Unable to file lawsuit against him, the hospital and Pulmonologist.  The Pulmonologist extracted fluid out of her lower left lung and I asked him why there was blood in the whole container.  He stated "she just had dialysis yesterday".  He also stated he was taking a specimen to check for cancer.  2 weeks later we go back, same blood extracted and he informed us there was no cancer.  Thank God we both said.  2 days after rushed her to ER due to her blood pressure was 70/30 and they did a body scan.  They found a mass in her lower left lung and the blood was a blood clot that was burst when the first draining was done. Mom passed away 1 week later.  This came out of nowhere.  Shame on the Doctors.  My Sister and I have contacted numerous law firms and been told if she was in a nursing home, we could help. Sorry, but there was no quality of life..She was OUR Mom.. Age has no factor when your loved one was neglected.  Let's stand up together and get justice.  My heart hurts every day.  Noone should have to feel defeated when they did all they could for their parents.  Where is the justice today?  Doctors "cover up" for each other....this MUST STOP !!!!  Want justice for our Mom.

Our beautiful Mom, Mary Clara was our "Rock" she was the strongest woman we know. Mom lived with me (Evelyn) after my Sister Margo married and moved out of state. They talked about 8x per day. There is a bond between a Mother and Child that never goes away.
