Powell collapsed in March 2013 and was taken to Putney Memorial Hospital, where the medical staff diagnosed him with shock and sepsis, which was terrible.
Over the course of 40 hours, doctors gave Powell a large dose of Vasopressin—two and a half times the maximum amount that is safe for a single individual.
Powell claimed that the overdose dramatically reduced blood flow to her lower body, particularly to her legs and feet, starving them of oxygen since vasopressin narrows blood vessels.
When he was called in to handle issues when the potent medication was removed and blood flow started to return to Powell’s body, Morgan, one of the doctors implicated, reportedly dismissed her care.
But what was supposed to save Powell’s life ended up costing her both legs.A legal dispute that would last for 12 years broke out between Powell’s lawyers and the hospital after that.
