Summary
In this medical malpractice trial, Amy Geiler was admitted to MountainView Hospital after a fall on New Year's Day. After determining Geiler had low sodium levels, she was given saline solution. A physician, Dr. Ejo John, ordered her to be moved to Mountains Edge Hospital, as he incorrectly believed her insurance would not cover treatment. At Mountains Edge, Geiler received additional saline after she was admitted by Dr. Amit Valera.
Geiler claims that this excess saline administration came as a result of failed communication between the two hospitals, resulting in her suffering permanent brain damage. Her attorneys accuse MountainView, Dr. Valera, and Dr. John of acting negligently, leading to Geiler's severe injuries.
Representatives for the defendants dispute these statements, arguing that their clients acted properly and that Geiler consented to the transfer to Mountain's Edge.
Outcome
Verdict for plaintiff.
Total damages: $46,995,621.39.
