Bedell v. Waterbury Hospital, et al (Filed October 3, 2013)(Waterbury Superior Court): A young woman reported to the defendant hospital on three different occasions over a 2 day period. Each time she complained of severe headache pain and stroke like symptoms. Despite having a family history of pulmonary embolisms and on birth control pills, the hospital reassured her and her family that she was fine. She ultimately suffered an embolic stroke and is unable to move any part of her body. She now lives in a nursing home and is cared for by her family. She can move only her eyes but has full cognitive functioning.
