Family seeks justice, claims son died due to healthcare system failures

The family of Aleksandar Stošić, who died at the age of 39, is demanding justice, asserting he was a victim of the healthcare system. His mother and wife are scrutinizing medical documents from over a year ago, claiming doctors initially described his condition as a minor abscess after surgery for abdominal pain. They were told he was recovering well, but his health rapidly deteriorated. "He was not just my husband, he was the best man in the world," his wife stated. His mother added, "My son is a victim of the healthcare system." Medical records obtained after his death reportedly revealed a severe infection, indicated by a high C-reactive protein (CRP) level of 365 on the first day after surgery. This level remained high, around 300, until he was transferred to the UKC Niš hospital on June 12. "I will never forgive myself for believing them. If he had been the child of some powerful person, a politician, do you think he would have sat with that CRP? Do you think doctors would not have taken action?" Aleksandar's mother questioned. The family is also awaiting the results of a prosecutorial investigation into why his critical condition was allegedly not addressed promptly and why they did not receive adequate information from the responsible surgeon. The Vranje hospital has stated that the questions have been forwarded to superiors, but no answers have yet been provided.
