This is the story as given by a plaintiff’s malpractice attorney, who obviously knows that getting his name in the news will help his practice. So even though he may well have a good case, I question if the details have been reported accurately.
Yes, but how far will that get him when he talks like this:
"Because of this hospital, this emergency room, with back pain and side pain, and she leaves here on a stretcher" --Sanford Rubenstein
He sounds more like Fred Sanford.
