Robyn Frankel v. Stanford Hospital and Clinics, Palo Alto Foundation Medical
Mar 19, 2012OUTCOME: Jury Verdict for Plaintiff
FACTS: On October 20, 2006, plaintiff Robyn Frankel had an invasive medical procedure - called a diagnostic cerebral angiogram - performed on her by Stanford Hospital and Clinics ("Stanford"). As a res ... ult of that procedure, plaintiff suffered a series of strokes that day which have left her with permanent injuries, including impairment of her ability to speak and her ability to move her limbs, and she now requires 24-hour-a-day medical assistance. One of the key - and hotly disputed - issues in this medical malpractice case was whether defendants fell below the standard of care because plaintiff contended that the cerebral angiogram was not indicated under the circumstances present in plaintiff's case. Ms. Woodson Berg represented Plaintiff.
