My son was hospitalized on April 15, 2011, with an inflamed liver. During his stay, he was diagnosed with a blocked stent, a heart infection, and needed a bypass. After several days of treatment, he experienced a panic attack and later passed away due to left ventricular failure, bronchopneumonia, myocardial infarction, and coronary artery atheroma. I am seeking answers as to why he was moved out of bed so soon after having tubes removed, which I believe contributed to his passing. Can you provide an honest answer?
