Catheter insertion leads to broken bones when woman falls from narrow table

…  A 77 year old widow was being prepared to be sent home from the hospital.  She was placed on a narrow table to insert a catheter (PICC line) in her arm so medications could be given to her at home.  The technician wasn’t paying attention and the widow fell off the table onto the floor.  She broke her shoulder and a bone in her face.  The hospital settled the lawsuit on the eve of trial.
