Family awarded $19 million in misdiagnosis case.

A health system in the Midwest has been ordered to pay $19 million to the parents of a 10-year-old boy whose meningitis was misdiagnosed at birth, leading to permanent brain damage. The jury found the staff of Duluth Clinic to be solely responsible for the injuries to Johnny Galligan. Currently, Johnny is confined to a wheelchair, has serious neurological problems, and is almost completely deaf and blind. In a separate case, a Missouri doctor accused of incorrectly treating a woman's embolism has been found not liable for her death.
