During her treatment for ketamine addiction, the personnel at the rehab facility exhibited carelessness and failed to provide appropriate care, according to a complaint brought by her family. According to the lawsuit, Emily had severe health problems as a result of the subpar treatment she received; she is currently semi-conscious and unable to move or talk.
However, in the rehab center, Emily's health quickly deteriorated rather than getting the treatment she required. Staff allegedly disregarded her worsening health, according to the lawsuit. Emily had a heart attack a few days after entering the rehab facility. After discovering her unresponsive, a nurse dialed 911. However, the complaint claims that prior to this finding, she had been abandoned for a considerable amount of time. Although emergency personnel attempted to resuscitate her, the delay in receiving treatment resulted in long-term harm. Long-term oxygen deprivation damaged Emily's brain and put her in a "vegetative coma."
Emily's guardian, Yesenia Lara Cooper, and her lawyer, james A. Morris Jr., were deeply concerned about the care Emily got. "Emily would have been able to take back control of her life if the staff had adhered to standard medical protocols," he said. In professional treatment, no patient should ever have to endure such a terrible collapse. Her life has been irrevocably altered since her health was neglected until it was too late.
Additionally, the complaint claims that the Summit Malibu personnel failed to provide the stated standard of care. Emily's health deteriorated, but she did not receive the necessary medical care or be taken to a hospital right away. Emily's family contends that her current state is a direct result of the facility's neglect.
When Emily started treatment, her health was already deteriorating. Her health was so bad, according to court filings, that she was weak, confused, and had trouble walking. In addition, she had excruciating pain, spasms, and tremors. She even grew so dehydrated that medics were unable to take her blood pressure because the institution failed to give her the necessary medical care.
In order to hold Summit Malibu and its parent business responsible for the carelessness that resulted in Emily's current condition, her family is now pursuing justice through the lawsuit. They are demanding that no one else get the same treatment and are advocating for a thorough probe of the rehab center's operations.
