A Florida jury awarded almost $4 million to Kathleen Leer who suffered a brain injury when an intravenous tube was removed at a hospital three years ago.
The lawsuit claimed that Leer suffered a stroke and brain damage when removal of a central line at Largo Medical Center caused an air embolism. Her lawyer said Leer now suffers from left-side paralysis and cognition problems that require 24-hour care from her husband.
Attorneys for the hospital argued that the line's removal did not cause Leer's injury and that "some or all of these damages" were based on pre-existing conditions. Leer, a chronic pain patient, was admitted to the hospital with a dislodged catheter in her lower back.
Hospital officials said they are considering an appeal.
