The family of a woman who died during childbirth earlier this month in Inglewood is calling on the state to launch an independent investigation into her death.
Friends, family members and supporters of 31-year-old April Valentine protested in front of Centinela Hospital on Saturday.
According to family, Valentine complained for hours that she was in pain during the birth of her child on Tuesday, Jan. 10. They claim nurses failed to pass along that information to the doctor and allege the hospital neglected Valentine, resulting in her death."We want reform, we want the nurse and doctors fired, their license revoked, and we also want to change the laws," said Valentine's cousin, Mike Mack, during Saturday's protest."Due to patient privacy laws and HIPAA, we are unable to discuss the care and treatment of specific patients.
