Im so sorry for your loss. You and your family have my deepest sympathies and condolences. Get justice for your son. Make them pay for taking your child away from his family. I will keep you in my prayers. Sue the pants off of them to the point that they have no choice but to shut this hospital down for good. 🙏🙏💯💯💯

[@sherylwalker7324]

I am SO SORRY for your loss! Bakersfield Memorial is THE WORST at patient care and NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS have been made against them with OSHA, HIPPA, CMS, JACHO, etc! Good luck finding a Bakersfield attorney to fight this! I STRONGLY SUGGEST you look abroad for legal representation if you so choose to go that route! Best of luck!

Fentanyl is entirely made in a lab. It is most likely a synthetic chemical drug rather than a opium based drug is cheaper for hospital budget.
