“this appears to be the plaintiff’s lawyer’s version...”

He’s a typical loudmouth Brooklyn plaintiff attorney, who appears on TV whenever possible. I think he also had a professional relationship with Johnny Cochran for a while.

He probably had a runner in the hospital who fed him the case.

Case like this will probably never make it to a jury.

If there isn't any causal relation between the hospital's conduct and the injury, or if they can't get a good malpractice affidavit (don't know their law - but GA requires an affidavit from a practicing physician stating exactly what the doctors did wrong), it goes out on summary judgment.

If it survives S/J, the hospital will settle even if they did nothing wrong. A jury can't be expected to look at a horribly maimed mother and not give her money. This is what we used to call a "seven nuns in a station wagon" case - you're wrong even if you're not wrong.
