NEW YORK (CBS) ― She was a vibrant young mother who went to a Brooklyn hospital for what she thought was a kidney stone. She wound up leaving without her hands and feet because of what her lawyers call a "medical mistake."

Now, Tabitha Mullings is suing.

The 32-year-old suffered an infection and ended up a quadriplegic with impaired vision.

"Because of this hospital, this emergency room, with back pain and side pain, and she leaves here on a stretcher with no hands and feet and legally blind," said Sanford Rubenstein, Mullings' attorney.

Maybe I was wrong when thinking privatized hospitals would just be better. Though, my cousin didn't lose hands and feet, he lost his life.

So you mean they save her life trough rip her legs and her hands off her well maybe but they could take a blood sample first time she was on the hospital and keep her in there to see what was wrong really.
