A relative of mine passed away recently because of brain haemorrhage. We are now investigating how well the hospital handled the situation after learning that the hospital didn't do it very well from another hospital where they were shifted shortly before their last breath.

Here's the second CT Scan report:
Code: 
Clinical profile: F/c/o intracerebral haematoma

Previous CT dated 11/04/11 was available for comparison. As compared to previous scan there is mild increase in the size of haematoma in right thalamo-capsular region. The intraventricular extension of bleed in the bilateral lateral and third ventricles is largely unchanged. The blood in the fourth ventricle is resolved. There is minimal increase in the ventricular dilation as compared to the previous scan. There is mild increase in the mass effect on the right lateral ventricle with mid line shift of 5mm towards left.

I will soon attach the first report with the photoprint plates of both the reports.

Was the situation serious or not? Was a drilling operation necessary? Sorry if the information is insufficient, I'll come back with more soon.

I'm afraid that we cannot diagnose or give opinions on a person's health or care.
