Errors cited in death of James Woods' brother
A hospital did not do enough to care for the brother of James Woods when he went to the emergency room complaining of a sore throat and vomiting in 2006, a lawyer for the actor told jurors Monday at the trial of a wrongful death lawsuit in Warwick, R.I.
Michael Woods died from heart disease at Kent Hospital on July 26, 2006, after going into cardiac arrest on a gurney. He was 49.
Attorney Mark Decof said in opening statements that the actor's brother wasn't seen by a doctor until an hour after he arrived and was initially treated in a section of the emergency room generally reserved for less-urgent cases.
Even after an EKG came back abnormal, he was not given oxygen, aspirin or hooked up to heart monitoring to track further deterioration, Decof said.
