The family of a woman with health issues who died after she was negligently discharged the same day she underwent surgery won a $2.5 million verdict in a Long Island medical malpractice lawsuit Monday. Margaret Parr,68, received a surgery to repair a hernia on her upper stomach on Feb.28,2013 and was discharged that same day. Parr — who had two adult kids and four grandchildren — died painfully the next day after she got a blood clot that cut off the flow of oxygen to her organs, causing them to fail. Her wife Suzanne Czerepinski,67, filed suit against surgeon Dr. Medhat Allam and his South Hampton practice, Eastern Long Island Surgery, in 2014 claiming he should have monitored Parr overnight post-surgery given she had vascular disease and two stents in her arteries.
