Medical Misunderstanding

Based on a true story about the person that accidentally'' was administered one thousand more heparin than what was necessary. Medically speaking, what happens next is more plausible.''

It was a bad day at St. Hermes private hospital where a group of investigators was reunited in the room occupied by some Karla Kirov whose name, everyone agreed, was stupid for many other reasons besides the alliteration. With the inspectors was a doctor of the hospital, Dr. Leonard Geiger, specialist of left hand diseases, and the woman's family. Karla Kirov suffered from red colouredness on her left middle finger until recently. Now she suffered of a condition called, in medical jargon, of death.

The inspectors stopped blabbering with one another for a second or so and heard to the family's crying and started again. Five minutes later they repeated the procedure which was repeated again and again for another three hours until one of them said it was Medical Malpractice. The dead woman's family stopped crying and smiled.

The door was blasted apart as a man in a purple suit entered, "Did I hear medical malpractice?" the lawyer said. The family said that yes, he probably did, because he came so quickly, and yes, they would hire him, why not? Karla was very important to them, and they needed something to make them happier while she was away, and money was as good as anything.

Leonard cleared his throat loudly,but no one heard him as the inspectors were too busy nodding to the family who was nodding and speaking to the lawyer who was just speaking in a enthusiastic and sunny tone about how much money they could get from a rich private hospital such as this one. Leaonard cleared his throat again and when he was not heard he yelled.

Everyone in the room looked at him and the inspectors said, "Whaaaat?"

Leonard told them he didn't think it was medical malpractice and the inspectors objected that she died in a hospital then it's medical malpractice. It's basic deductive work, they said. Leonard told them it couldn't be medical malpractice because she was lacking her head and there were only a few procedures that had any chance of causing that. The specific words he used by him were, "Her head is chopped off, it can't be medical malpractice. I mean, seriously."
