Melissa Morgan, the mother of the patient at the center of the Cincinnati Children’s lawsuit, said the ruling proves the hospital is as culpable as the surgeon.
“It proves that Children’s knew and was as much responsible for the mistakes that were made in my son’s life, as much as the doctor was,” said Ms. Morgan. “[My son] was born with some unique challenges to start with. This compounded those tenfold.”
