A woman went to three separate hospitals trying to get care for her symptoms of nausea, vomiting, headaches, numbness in her arms, legs and face that she had experienced for three days. A simple CT scan would have revealed the culprit, a brain tumor. Her lawyer contends that each of the hospitals refused to adequately diagnose her because they knew they would only be reimbursed $135 dollars by Medicaid for a procedure that cost $3,000. A Philadelphia jury agreed and found each of the hospitals negligent in their care of the 20 year-old mother who is now blind, paralyzed and brain-damaged. They awarded her $11.2 million, including $5.9 million for future medical expenses. The woman currently lives near Boston with her mother, uncle, sister, four brothers, and a 4-year-old daughter born just four months before the brain tumor was discovered. She needs the help of her family to take care of herself and her daughter.
