My mom in hospital 30 days. signs, symptoms of peptic ulcer's. ruptured. bleed to death there. it was known but not mentioned. avoidable. why was surgery, treatment, advising not done? thanks.

I am very sorry: I am truly so sorry for your loss. Understanding why may help ease the hurt, anger. Active bleeding ulcers can have a 10-14 percent mortality, & esophageal perforation, producing even greater rates. Medicine that prevent bleeding from stopping, such as motrin, don't help the situation. Making sure nothing congenital present, like a bleeding disorder, may help prevent this tragedy from recurring.

Well, uh: The stress of an operation or hospitalization can increase the risk of an ulcer. Why was she there? Was she on non steroidal, or steroidal drugs? Was she getting a medication for her stomach? Who knew and didn't mention ( about the ulcers). There is a lot 2 this question. Death from GI bleed from an ulcer during hospitalization would require close exam of record to determine negligence.
