A three million dollar settlement has been reached on behalf of a four year boy who, at 2 weeks of age, suffered a cardiac arrest in the intensive care nursery at the University of Chicago Hospital ten days after he had undergone surgery to correct a congenital heart defect. Just before the arrest, a physician’s assistant had pulled a right atrial line from the heart. The following week the infant was diagnosed to have suffered a stroke. He now lives with his parents, is enrolled in school, but has some developmental delay and is on anti-seizure medication. Nicholas J. Motherway, who with John M. Saletta, had prepared the case for trial, negotiated the settlement on behalf of the boy and his parents. Circuit Court of Cook County Case 04 L 11116.
