Since doctors take an oath to care for their patients to the best of their ability, many parents don’t question the experts or feel the need to get a second opinion when it comes to their child’s health.
However, now one mom is urging parents to always do their research even when bringing your child in for a minor treatment after a ‘routine procedure’ at the dentist killed her 14-month-old baby girl. Texas mom Betty Squier had brought baby Daisy Lynn Torres in to the dentist for what they explained would be a quick and easy dental crown procedure, which is why she never eve questioned what was about to happen.
About halfway through the procedure, Daisy stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest. Squier rushed back to the office as soon as she heard what happened, but couldn’t comprehend what was going on. “When EMS came, they told me to give her a kiss bye before they put her in the ambulance,” Squier said of the moment she knew her daughter wasn’t going to wake up.
Within a few hours after making it to the hospital, Squier was given the devastating news that her baby had passed away, and the autopsy then confirmed that the anesthesia, which had been administered by a board certified anesthesiologist, was responsible for her death.
“I talked with the anesthesiologist before he put her under,” Squier said. “He was telling me how beautiful my baby was and how the procedure would be very quick and that I would be able to see her soon. My last words to her were, ‘I’ll be back for you soon,’ but Daisy was the one who never came back to me.”
“If I could have done something different for Daisy Lynn, and if I could give any parents advice, I would tell them to do more research on your dentist and your anesthesiologist and to get as many second opinions as you possibly can,” Squier said.
