Later that evening, Doe’s heart monitor began to sound, allegedly indicating that she was experiencing ventricular tachycardia. A nurse found Doe unresponsive twenty minutes later.

Before a jury trial, the parties settled for $1.8 million.

Ocasio’s estate sued Meriden-Wallingford Anesthesia Group P.C. and the estate of a treating employee physician, alleging that the doctor and a CRNA improperly administered an excessive amount of propofol to Ocasio and chose not to treat her hypoxia, properly monitor her vital signs and finally resuscitate her.

The day after that, Ms. Doe underwent a STAT MRI, which revealed spinal hematoma. Despite the surgery, Ms. Doe was left with paralysis.

Ms. Doe sued the hospital, Dr. Roe, the hospitalist and the radiology group. Ms. Doe asserted that the hospital chose not to contact a neurologist for an urgent consultation and failed to perform an MRI timely.

Ms. Doe claimed the hospitalist chose not to follow up on the order for a neurology consultation. Finally, Ms. Doe asserted in the lawsuit that the radiology group had misread the CT scan and failed to recommend that she undergo an MRI of the lumbar spine.

During the procedure, Dr. Singh allegedly noted that Rosen’s left C8 nerve root was not visible and had been transected or cut transversely.

Despite the second surgery, Rosen’s condition worsened. He is now 74 years old and needs ongoing pain management.
