Kensley Kirby, five year old Henry County, Ga., girl dies after Family Medical Clinic gives her too much anesthesia as they tried to put her broken arm in a cast.
How can a child go to an urgent care clinic for a broken arm and end up dying? According to WSB-TV,
Kensley Kirby was taken to an urgent care clinic in Henry County, Ga., for a broken arm and ended up dead.
This week, the coroner told Diamant that someone at the Family Medical Clinic on Hampton Road in McDonough gave Kensley a lethal dose of anesthesia. In June, Kensley’s parents took her to the urgent care clinic after a fall. “They went from picking the color of the cast with their daughter to basically being with her as she died,” said Pete Law, the Kirby family’s attorney. Law said clinic workers gave Lensley too much medicine while trying to set her arm instead of sending her to an emergency room. This week, the Henry County Coroner confirmed that Kensley died from a lethal dose of a local anesthetic called lidocaine. Source
If the clinic couldn't handle this, they should have told the parents to take to the hospital for proper medical attention. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. This could have been avoided. I hate to say it, but until this case is litigated, people should steer clear of the Family Medical Clinic in McDonough. You're better off taking your chances at the hospital.
UPDATE: The Medical Board suspended the license of physician assistant and clinic co-owner Allan Imes for injecting Kirby with three times the recommended dose of Lidocaine for someone her size and performing an unauthorized procedure on Kirby’s broken arm, WSB-TV said.
