A Central Florida woman suing after she lost her arms and legs to flesh-eating bacteria that was contracted during childbirth may have won access to documents specific to her case that so far the hospital has been unwilling to give up, Local 6 News has learned.

Claudia Mejias, 23, originally went to Orlando Regional South Seminole Hospital for the delivery of her son, Matthew.

After Mejias gave birth, doctors told her that she had contracted a flesh-eating bacteria -- with amputation her only option.

"I remember it was Mother's Day and they told me, 'We got to amputate your legs and arms if you want to live,'" Mejias said.

After the amputations, Mejias and her attorneys said they wanted the hospital to release details that might explain why she lost her arms and legs.

She sued Orlando Regional South Seminole Hospital, alleging medical malpractice, and sought access to the documents.

In court Friday, Mejias attorneys said the hospital has done everything it can to avoid, delay or refuse to give an explanation.

"They have simply ignored this court order to provide reports we have sought," attorney Ronald Gilbert said.

Originally, Mejias' attorneys wanted to know what other adverse medical incidents took place at Orlando Regional involving group A streptococcus.

The hospital reiterated its position in court in Friday that Mejias' case is unique.

"So, why then won't the hospital release two reports about Mejias' condition -- two reports we are just hearing about now?" Local 6's Steven Cooper said. "One is an infection control file put together by the hospital after Mejias' amputations and the other is a code 15 report put together for adverse medical incidents where a health care provider made or could have made a difference in the outcome."

The hospital said it is required to file a report if the case is likely to generate major media coverage, according to the report.

"But (Mejias') team wants to know why the state gets (Mejias') data but she does not," Cooper said.

"We should not just be sitting here relying on the hospital to decide," Gilbert said.

The judge ruled what the hospital must do.

"I want you to file whatever they ask you for, whether it is the code 15 report (or) supporting documents," Judge Alan Dickey said. "Furnish it to them or file a privilege log. That is all my ruling is."

"We are one step closer to getting to the truth," Gilbert said. "That's what this is all about."

There is still disagreement whether Mejias' case meets the criteria of an adverse medical incident.

Once her attorneys request specific documents from the hospital, Orlando Regional will have 20 days to produce those documents, or, in their place, a privilege log which would list the documents and reasons why the hospital does not want to produce them.

"A lot of legal wrangling (in the case), to be sure," Cooper said.

Meanwhile, Mejias was not in court Friday as she prepares for surgery next week at the Mayo Clinic.

Mejias has some bone growth issues at one of her amputation sites that needs to be addressed.
