My heart goes out to you as well.. and I have to agree with this poster. I would approach the vet who diagnosed her with the pancreatitis. Ask them if they feel that it should have been caught sooner and if the other veterinarian may be liable for what happened. I don't know how malpractice works for vets (or if there is such a thing.) If the vet who finally diagnosed her is cooperative, you may be able to bring forth some kind of suit against the hospital for all the money spent on inadequate treatment and the
loss of your pet do to it.
I do not know if it will really be successful - but if not, the odds that she'll end up being re-homed with one of the vet techs or workers is REALLY high. So while the situation is heartbreaking and completely unnecessary in some ways... she will most likely end up in a position where she'll be able to get all the healthcare she'll ever need at a discounted cost. Is not a great solution or the way anyone would like it to go, but at least you can hold on to that little snippet of positivity.
