Proven verdicts and settlements
In May 2006 a Dallas jury voted 11-1 that Medical Center of McKinney, an HCA hospital, was liable after a nasogastric tube perforated the esophagus of patient Tom Ivey following stomach surgery in early 2002. The jury placed the fault on the hospital's nurses and found the surgeon neither negligent nor liable. It awarded Mr. Ivey and his wife, Sandra, $9,944,406. The hospital said it would appeal, and we found no reported appellate decision.
