According to the medical malpractice lawsuit filed, the woman was admitted to the hospital for a heart attack. She had a cardiac-bypass surgery five days later. While at the hospital, she contracted a bacterial infection that the couple says was misdiagnosed. Doctors did not realize the infection and removed part of her colon.
