Medical Center Found Negligent After Boy Suffers Brain Damage
The family of a 3-year-old boy who suffered massive brain damage while being treated at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii will receive more than $9.4 million under a ruling by a federal judge.
U.S. District Judge David Ezra found that Tripler was negligent in its treatment of Parker Kohl, who is now blind, unable to walk, has to fed through a tube, and has an IQ of less than 30. The judge ruled that the hospital caused the boy to suffer cardiorespiratory arrest which resulted in irreversible brain damage.
According to the March 2006 lawsuit, Parker was born a healthy baby in December 20043 at Tripler but was later diagnosed with a heart defect. The boy developed a respiratory infection that required hospitalization in May 2004. While in the hospital, his condition worsened.
