She should get a itemized hospital bill for starters. I don't see how they can not give this to her. It may take specifically asking a few times, or in writing, but it will show exactly what drugs she was given each day.

This is heartbreaking. I am betting there are way more stories out there like this-but family may not even realize the hospital killed their loved one. I am convinced my uncle was killed by his hospital care, but I am the only one in the family to believe this. He too was sedated due to "fighting his care" and then put on a vent. He came off the vent, but it wasn't long before he was no longer able to communicate. He called my step-mother and told her to get her son (who is state police) to get him out of the hospital because of how he was being treated. The whole family basically brushed it off, as he was 1 IQ point away from being mentally retarded. The hospital was called, however, and what a coincidence-it was right after that he was sedated. He was fine before that. Never again was he fine. I have heard of others with similar stories.
