Mother Sues Sarasota Memorial Hospital For Son's Death

A Sarasota mother is suing Sarasota Memorial Hospital for $15,000 in a medical malpractice case alleging that the hospital caused the death of her 1-year-old son.
The suit alleges that during the treatment of infant Rocco Kuehl, the hospital did not correctly administer IV fluids and an insulin infusion, causing seizers and "irreversbile brain damage" that ultimately led to his death, according to the complaint filed Sept. 18 in Circuit Court.
Heather Kuehl of Sarasota, took her son Rocco to a Sarasota Memorial Hospital urgent care on Jan. 23, 2010 where he was diagnosed with a viral infection and Kuehl was told to take Rocco home and returned if his symptoms worsened, according to the complaint.
Dr. James DeRespino, physician's assistant James Updyke and Sarasota Emergency Associates, P.A., are also named in the suit.
