… A 34-year-old mother of two young boys and an infant daughter was admitted to a local hospital with a severe headache. On the third day of her admission, she was still in severe pain when her husband reported to the medical staff what appeared to be a seizure. Although the woman became unresponsive, hours went by before a neurology resident examined her. When the woman finally had a CT scan of her brain, they found that she had a bleeding stroke. She had brain surgery but was left with devastating injuries. After several years of litigation, the case settled for a significant sum after a jury was selected.
