He explained that, like many people, he understands the pain of losing a loved one, especially a parent, but stressed the need to establish the facts before making serious allegations against a healthcare institution.

What Kevin Taylor says happened at UGMC

According to information Kevin Taylor said his team gathered, Michael Blackson’s 83-year-old mother was taken to UGMC after experiencing sleep apnea and a severe chest infection, which affected her ability to breathe.

Due to the seriousness of her condition, she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where she received care from medical specialists until she sadly passed away.

Based on the information available to him, Kevin Taylor argued that it would be unfair to accuse UGMC of wrongdoing without credible evidence proving medical negligence.

He acknowledged that Michael Blackson’s grief was understandable but cautioned that emotions surrounding such a painful loss should not lead to conclusions that could damage the reputation of a medical facility.
