Description

This is an action for damages for injuries allegedly caused by medical negligence. Rebecca C. Miller, then age 31, was admitted to Marymount Medical Center, d/b/a Marymount Hospital ("Marymount") in London, Kentucky, on October 16, 1995, by her family physician, Dr. William D. Pratt. She was admitted for the purpose of giving birth by induced labor. Attempts to induce labor on October 17th were unsuccessful. On October 18th, Mrs. Miller gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Rachel Ann Miller, by Caesarean section surgery performed by Dr. Joseph W. Stern, an obstetrician/gynecologist. Following surgery, Mrs. Miller experienced respiratory difficulties. A chest x-ray taken on the morning of October 19th revealed that she had contracted pneumonia. A blood gas test on the same morning revealed a blood oxygen concentration (P02) of 64.4. A normal P02 is between 80.0 and 100.0. The chest x ray and low P02 indicated that lung congestion caused by pneumonia was preventing sufficient oxygen from entering the blood stream for delivery to other parts of the body, including the brain.
