Doyle v. Danbury Hospital (Filed in Danbury 2012): Dr. Kloth prescribed the plaintiff Jay Doyle a steroid injection for his arthritis. Ridgefield Surgical Center which is operated by Danbury Hospital bought these injections from NECC— a Framingham, MA based compounder. The Center then marked up the price on the drug and sold it to the plaintiff- in whom the steroid was injected. The defendant hospital purchased the drugs from NECC because they were cheaper than safer options. NECC was an unaccredited compounding pharmacy with a history of poor hygiene practices. Immediately following the injection in October 2012, Jay Doyle–a well known New Milford clockmaker– began suffering severe pain and difficulty walking. He was diagnosed with meningitis and has suffered severe brain and spinal cord damage. He is unlikely to be able to work again, suffers pain and disability and is impaired from many activities.
