| Description | SANTA ANA (CBS) — An appellate panel reversed a lower court’s dismissal of a lawsuit filed against South Coast Medical Center in Laguna Beach by a man who claimed he suffered “excruciating pain and trauma” when a worker tripped on a hose, yanking a catheter from his penis.
Gregory Harry, a quadriplegic who was being treated at the medical center in June 2009, relied on catheters to urinate because of his paralysis. A custodial worker tripped over a hose connected to the catheter in Harry’s hospital room.
Harry had to summon a nurse after the accident caused him to pass blood and tissue, according to the ruling from the three-judge panel of the Fourth District Court of Appeal. |
