The plaintiff suffered a severe hypoxic-ischemic brain injury due to a subdural hemorrhage with herniation of the brain stem prior to emergency life-saving surgery that occurred at Northridge Hospital on Dec. 29, 2018. The process that led to her stroke/brain injury began prior to the delivery of her child on Dec. 25, 2018, as was manifested by complaints of headache after her admission to Kaiser Panorama City Hospital on Dec. 10, 2018, due to pre-eclampsia and prematurity of her fetus (28 6/7 weeks). Her clinical condition and laboratory abnormalities continued after her delivery on Dec. 25, and her premature and negligence discharge from the hospital on Dec. 27, 2018, less than 48 hours after her c-section.
