Kelly Williams explains how her father was recovering from routine ankle surgery when he suffered a severe stroke.

“It’s just been a nightmare since, we’ve been trying to fight this, we’ve been trying to get answers and make change because there are systemic issues and systemic failures, we believe, and we don’t want this to happen to anyone else,” she said.
