The husband of a black woman who bled to death after giving birth to a baby at a Los Angeles hospital is accusing the hospital of being racist. The husband of a black woman who bled to death after giving birth to a baby at the renowned Los Angeles medical center sued the hospital on Wednesday, saying she bled to death because of a culture of racism. During depositions in his wrongful death lawsuit, Charles Johnson IV said he discovered a disparity in the care women of color receive at Cedars compared to white women. If my wife were a white woman, she would be here today and be with my boys on Mother's Day. The couple's second son, Langston, was delivered in 17 minutes after Johnson died from a scheduled cesarean section. She was admitted to the operating room without being readmitted because she was bleeding internally. This is sloppy. The head of labor and delivery looked at it and said it was butchery. The surgeon who performed the C-section cut into Kira Johnson's bladder and she hadn't been sutured properly. She had blood in her stomach when she was brought back into the operating room. The hospital said in a statement that it was founded on principles of diversity and health care for all and that it rejected any mischaracterization of its culture and values. The statement said that they are working to eradicate unconscious bias in health care and advance equity in health care more broadly. The death of Kira Johnson led her husband to advocate for reducing maternal mortality, which is high for Black women. Black women died at 2.5 times the rate of white women before the Pandemic, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. A recent bill that would lift the cap on medical malpractice awards is one of a number of bills that Charles Johnson has testified in favor of. The malpractice law currently caps awards at $250,000. The case is scheduled to go to trial in May, though recent court filings indicated the two sides were close to reaching a settlement. The civil rights case would allow Johnson to collect damages and hold Cedars-Sinai accountable. He wants the hospital to make changes to protect mothers and women of color. According to Johnson, witnesses said his wife was treated unfairly because of her race. According to court papers, Dr. Gregory testified that she lives with structural racism every day and that it prevents Black patients from receiving the same care as whites. She said that Kira Johnson should have returned to the operating room sooner. Dr. Sarah Kilpatrick testified that she apologized to Charles Johnson. We failed your family. This shouldn't have happened. When Kira Johnson arrived in the operating room, patient safety was out the door. Washington, who has more than 30 years of experience, said she was afraid to speak up because she had seen different treatment of Black women. Washington said that when he sees his black patients, he says an extra prayer. You do have racism in the operating room.
