A law suit is filed after toddler loses a hand and both feet in 5-Hour ER wait

While there is a lot of chaos going on overseas, there is quite a lot of controversy here in the states.

In California a couple brought their two year-old daughter to the ER, after a two hour wait, both her feet and one hand had to be amputated. They originally went to Methodist Hospital in Sacramento with a fever. Soon enough, her liver failed. And was sent to two more hospitals.

The father reportedly begged them to take care of his daughter. It is said that she had a bacterial infection, which caused her skin to become discolored. Eventually the father forced his way into the office of another hospital and demanded that the girl get help. By the time she finally got help the bacteria had taken over most of her body and had to be flown to yet another hospital.
