Jeffrey E. Martin and Shauna M. Martin of Martin Law, LLC recently reached a $6 million settlement for the family of a 53-year-old woman who died of Stage IV ovarian cancer. The woman had been under the care of a gynecologist who failed to educate the patient and perform appropriate diagnostic follow-up after a chocolate cyst was found in the area of her left o***y. The doctor failed to warn the woman that that a chocolate cyst (also known as an endometrioma) had a 1% to 3% chance of becoming a malignant mass.

Plaintiff alleged that if her wife had been told of that possibility, that she would have elected to have the endometrioma removed before it became cancerous. Once the patient began to experience significant symptoms, she was diagnosed with Stage IV clear cell ovarian carcinoma and died 10 months later.

The defense claimed that because the risk of the malignant transformation occurring was so low (and was lower than the surgical risks of removing the endometrioma) the gynecologist had no obligation to inform the patient about that slight possibility.

Due to the sizable settlement, the surviving family members will now have financial security and a sense of justice for the loss of their loved one. It should be noted that the family did not want to go to trial, and that the settlement was obtained two days before trial was set to commence.

Illinois Ranks 30th in Hospital Safety

According to an article in the Chicago Tribune by Lisa Schencker, the State of Illinois has dropped two spots since last Fall concerning ranking of hospital safety. This finding was released by the nonprofit Leapfrog Group, one of the organizations that grade or rank hospitals annually. The Leapfrog Group graded 22% of Illinois hospitals as earning an “A” grade for safety compared to nearly 25% in the fall. Top ranks for Illinois hospitals include University of Chicago Medical Center and Rush University Medical Center. Five Endeavor Health hospitals located in Evanston, Highland Park, Glenview, Elmhurst, and Arlington Heights also earned A’s as did Northwestern Medicine hospitals in Huntley, DeKalb, Winfield, Geneva, Lake Forest, and McHenry.

Four of the 15 Illinois hospitals earning “D” grades this spring are part of the Advocate Healthcare system. Those hospitals include Advocate Good Samaritan in Downers Grove, Advocate South Suburban in Hazel Crest, Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oaklawn, and Advocate Trinity in Chicago. Five other Advocate hospitals earned “C”s.

According to an article posted on wgntv.com, a School District 25 administrator said they were made aware of an allegation regarding the “potential misuse of prescription medication intended for specific student use.” The registered nurse works at Westgate Elementary School in Arlington Heights, IL and has been placed on administrative leave during the investigation by Arlington Heights police.

Parents should be able to rely upon schools to ensure the safety and well-being of their children, especially when it comes to dispensing medication. Failing to have necessary medication dispensed as prescribed can have devastating health consequences. In situations where your child relies on a school health professional to dispense medication prescribed by your child's physician, insist that the school's administration share the policies and procedures regarding the chain of supervision when dispensing medication to a minor child. When parents entrust their student's safety to a school, the school must not violate that trust.
