A federal judge in Rhode Island found that a federally funded Providence health center spent nearly seven years calling a mother of four's headaches migraines before a brain tumor was found, and on December 9, 2024 entered judgment of $11,885,494.62 under the Federal Tort Claims Act, $8,385,494.62 of it to the injured woman and $3,500,000 to her four children. The tumor turned up only after she lost consciousness in the clinic's parking lot in 2019, and she suffered strokes during the surgery to remove it. The United States appealed. On March 27, 2026 the First Circuit affirmed her pain-and-suffering awards, modified her medical expense award down by $3,600, reversed the children's loss-of-consortium damages for lack of jurisdiction, and vacated the homemaker-damages award for recalculation. As of publication $7,286,894.62 stands confirmed, with the homemaker figure still open on remand.
