The family of a woman from Indianapolis says they want answers in the wake of her death caused from flesh eating bacteria.
Richard Martin says his wife Carol died Saturday, about three months after she developed a flesh eating bacteria infection while vacationing in Clearwater, Florida.
Martin says doctors at St. Francis Hospital bungled her diagnosis and wasted precious time. According to a report by Indy-based RTV-6 ABC, Martin believes doctors could have saved her if they had diagnosed her correctly the first time she saw them.
He says his wife, Carol, 50, returned home from Florida in February with an infection on her buttocks the size of a nickel. It got so painful that she went to the doctor to figure out what it was and she was sent home with antibiotics and a heating pad - twice.
The hospital isn't commenting.
Martin says he just wants to have some answers.
