The hospital who was responsible for my grandmother’s death told us via phone that they have recordings of the surgery that cause the complications and led to her death. When we went there to pick up the recordings, they claimed recordings did not exist. They refused to provide a written statement on letterhead saying the recordings did not exist. The surgery was robotic, therefore theoretically recordings should have been taken. What can be done?
