Nason v. Hospital of Central Connecticut et al. (Hartford Superior Court filed November 6, 2014) A middle-aged woman with a remote history of cervical spine surgery visited the ER at the Hospital of Central Connecticut multiple times complaining of severe and worsening neck and arm pain.  Despite an MRI revealing what the radiologist warned an epidural abscess pressing on her spinal cord, nothing was done by the hospital or two separate defendant neurosurgeons.  Seventeen days after her last visit, the vertebrae at the base of her neck collapsed due to the severe infection and she was immediately rendered quadriplegic. She presented to the emergency room near death in septic shock.  She will remain paralyzed from the neck down for the rest of her life.
