Reisig complained of abcominal burning and gas;at this time, she weighed 150 pounds.  She sought treatment from defendants while she experienced worsening of symptoms after eating and weight loss.  Defendants provided medical treatment to Helen R. Reisig over the course of the next year as she continued to report worsening symptoms and experienced a cumulative weight loss of 38 pounds, twenty-five percent (25%) of her body weight.  Defendants failed to detect or order treatment that would detect, that Helen R. Reisig was suffering from deterioration and decay in her bowel function caused by a loss of circulation to an artery in her abdomen called the superior mesenteric artery.   Complications from the continuing untreated loss of circulation in her abdomen professively worsened and she became gravely ill.  Her condition was never discovered or treated in a timely manner, resulting in her death on June 30, 1999.
