I'm sorry to hear your mother died. Whether the physician did anything wrong is a difficult question to answer and this is one you will need to have someone review. You need to schedule an appointment with an attorney who can then obtain the medical records, have them reviewed by a qualified physician and then decide if a standard of care was breached. Not so easy as you can see.

Can we sue the physician for wrongful death? My mom just died. We had a biopsy done by a PA and the doctor wasn't even there and her lung collapsed. She died two weeks later. Was he allowed to do that without a doctor in the room?
