$983,000
Medical Negligence
A combined verdict of $983,000 for the estate of an elderly woman, and her surviving spouse, where the woman with diabetes had been hospitalized for a heart procedure, suffered an episode of hypoglycemia during her hospitalization, was improperly treated for the hypoglycemia by being given an intravenous dose of D50 in her hand, which extravasated into the vein in her hand, causing a wound in her hand which then contracted MRSA.
