Judge Hatchett Fights For Justice When Beloved Daughter-In-Law Dies After C-Section.
Judge Glenda Hatchett is really going through right now you guys. The popular tv judge endured a major loss in her family on April 13th. Daughter-in-law Kyira Dixon Johnson’s life unexpectedly came to an end after what appeared to be a routine c-section. Now the judge and her son Charles S. Johnson IV are demanding answers from the folk over at Cedars Sinai Hospital. The family is saying that Kyira wasn’t cared for or checked on properly after the surgery. Because of this, there are two lil boys who will have to spend the rest of their lives without their Mom.
“TV’s Judge Glenda Hatchett is involved in a wrongful death lawsuit after her daughter-in-law died shortly after she gave birth.
Kyira Johnson, who was married to Judge Hatchett’s son, Charles, went to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for a C-Section, but according to the lawsuit, while she was recovering in the hospital, her blood pressure plummeted and she complained of pain in her abdomen. However, she wasn’t taken into surgery for 10 hours, where doctors found three liters of blood in her abdomen from “excessive bleeding” and could not save her.
“The last thing she said to me was that, ‘I am scared.’ I held her hand I kissed and I told her everything will be OK,” Charles said.”
Hatchett took to Instagram to tell her story, writing:

“In responding to the tragedy, Cedars-Sinai told Inside Edition that they are “deeply saddened by the death and the toll it is taking on her family. We strongly support the family’s goal of determining exactly why this happened.”
“While federal privacy laws prevent us from responding directly about any patient’s care without written authorization, we can share the following,” they added.
“Any time there are concerns raised about a patient’s medical care, we conduct an investigation to determine exactly what happened, including reviewing hospital procedures and the competency of health care providers, and make changes as needed to ensure that we continue to provide the highest quality medical care.”
This just goes to show you that anything can go wrong in a hospital. That’s why it is even more imperative that these doctors and nurses stay on top of their patients’ recovery. This lady was complaining of major pain in her abdomen AND her blood pressure was spiraling down out of control. Obviously something was wrong, which means surgeons should have taken her right back to the o.r. to see what was going on with her. They definitely shouldn’t have waited 10 agonizing hours.
I’m hoping that Judge Hatchett and her son Charles gain full justice for their beautiful loved one. She looks like she was a force on this Earth, and I’m sure she will be missed every minute of every day.
Rest in peace Kyira.
