I’d be really curious for someone to really go through Duke’s financial statements, and try to figure out what the amount was on the settlement. I bet it wasn’t cheap.

It may be impossible to figure out. Duke has a hospital. In the ordinary course of running a hospital you are going to make mistakes must allocate monies to settle lawsuits. The law suit about the grade retaliation and the potential law suits by Evans, Finnerty and Seiligmann are likely all lumped in with other huge settlements for the hospital on the Duke's financial statements.

The settlement is subject to a gag order. But of course that doesnt stop the rumors, specifically that the total Duke agreed to pay was on the order of 18 million.
Who knows what will be left after all costs are factored in. Each family had more than a million in legal fees.
