Parents allege Mission Hospital missed child's illness

ASHEVILLE - A lawsuit filed by parents against Mission Hospital alleges that a Mission doctor failed to properly diagnose a seriously ill 2-year-old boy with Kawasaki disease, and the delayed diagnosis left him with long term medical problems. The lawsuit, filed Nov. 5 in Buncombe County Superior Court by Juan and Sarah Alvarado, states that on Nov. 3, 2023, the couple took their son, Silas, to Mission Hospital because he had been sick for two days with vomiting and diarrhea, fatigue, decreased appetite, neck pain, along with a one-day history of rash. That same day, Silas was admitted to Mission Hospital under the care of Dr. Jessica Saricicek, pediatrician on staff, who is also listed as a defendant in the lawsuit. Dr. Saricicek elected to treat Silas with broad-spectrum antibiotics, and discharged him the next day, November 4, 2023, according to the lawsuit. Rather than improving, Silas's condition worsened at home: He experienced redness of the eyes and lips, swollen hands and feet, and a persistent rash, the lawsuit stated. Within a day or two of Silas' initial discharge, the Alvarados were informed by Mission Hospital staff that cerebrospinal fluid culture from Silas' first admission had returned positive for possible

COMMENTARY: The Fairgrounds: You can’t always get what you want

Tutiyi (Snowbird) and Clyde, N.C. Ask around. We love our land. Or maybe we would say our Creator’s land. Land ownership is sort of a thing brought over by migrants from other countries. Indigenous peoples were more about occupation, survival, and the practicalities of living than those who came on ships with a bent toward materialism. And our occupations fit our needs, which in turn satisfied our wants, which were mostly to provide sustenance for our family and tribes, and to live in peace pursuing the simple pleasures of life: hunting, fishing, singing, dancing, storytelling, and fellowship.

Letter: A bear, a bulldozer and a boondoggle

A juvenile bear was earnestly foraging on the edge of Asheville’s urban forest as I drove by recently. Traffic had slowed to watch as the bear moved among the brambles, just feet from the road. At the nearby corner of Broadway and W.T. Weaver Boulevard, a small bulldozer perched on the hillside after scraping all vegetation off the desecrated ground around it.
