Insufficient Emergency Room Diagnosis Leaves 30-Year Old Woman in a Vegetative State; Settlement of More Than $4 Million

The emergency room diagnosed a 30-year old woman complaining of blurry vision and headaches with hyperventilation and anxiety.  Three days later she returned to the hospital after being found unconscious at home.  Her condition worsened but her pulmonologist was not notified until she was irreparably harmed. The woman remains in a vegetative state.
