BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A jury has awarded $3.5 million in damages to a Fort Yates woman who suffered a stroke after a major artery was accidentally severed during surgery at St. Alexius Hospital in Bismarck.
The Bismarck Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/2qzZzhu ) that the nine-person jury decided Dr. Allen Booth and the hospital negligently performed a lymph node biopsy on 35-year-old Chenille Condon in 2012.
CHI St. Alexius Health issued a statement on behalf of the doctor and the hospital, saying the organization disagrees with the jury’s finding and is reviewing legal options.
