Casino67 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 FoxNews.com: A Connecticut hospital facing a lawsuit by a woman who says she was severely injured when she fell off an operating table after surgery says it deeply regrets what happened and apologized to the patient. Attorneys for 81-year-old Florence Fiedler of New Canaan filed the lawsuit Tuesday against Yale-New Haven Hospital. The lawsuit says Fiedler had a pacemaker implanted in February 2010 and fell off the table after the surgery. Her attorneys say she suffered fractures of the hip and collarbone, a traumatic head injury that resulted in bleeding under her skull and other injuries. The lawsuit alleges the hospital improperly left Fiedler unattended. Rob Hutchison, spokesman for Yale-New Haven Hospital, says the hospital promptly reported the incident to the state Department of Public Health. //End// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollyannaish Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 What the? How does this happen? She should get more than an apology, and I don't say that often. That is inexcusable. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
