On September 13, 2024, Senior Partner Jerome Silverberg obtained summary judgments in favor of our insured physician and his employer in matter styled Plaintiff  v. Wellington Regional Medical Center, et al.   Plaintiff was expected to board total economic damages in excess of $25M.   The matter involved a 46 year old female that had suffered a stroke and underwent an embolectomy and was recovering well with minimal deficits.  Approximately one week later, her neurological status changed.  A third year resident was called who ordered a CT Scan.  However, a stroke alert was not called for four hours later.  The patient requires full time care.  Our doctor was allegedly charged with supervising the resident in the hospital’s residency program.  Our doctor’s employer participated and assisted the hospital in the residency program and was obligated to provide qualified physicians to perform professional graduate medical education and supervisory services to the hospital’s residents. We were able to establish that our doctor was not on the schedule to supervise residents on the date in question and that the resident at no time sought supervision from our doctor or any other physician.  We were also able to establish that the hospital’s residency program was created, developed and operated by the hospital and a Chief Academic Officer employed directly by the hospital having nothing to do with our physician’s employer.
