Condo, et al. v. Griffin Hospital, et al (New Haven Superior Court──filed September 12, 2016) On a summer evening just past midnight, Mark Condo went to Griffin Hospital’s Emergency Department complaining of severe chest pain radiating upward. He was diagnosed with “chest pains,” given a “GI cocktail” and sent home. At his home the following evening Mark collapsed from cardiac arrest. Despite advanced cardiac intensive care at Yale-New Haven Hospital, the damage to the Mark’s heart was too extensive. He died the next day. If Griffin Hospital’s Emergency Department personnel had followed the standard of care, recognized Mark’s symptoms of cardiac ischemia and brought in a cardiologist before discharge, Mark would not have suffered his fatal cardiac arrest and death at age 48.
