Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit July 19, 1996, No. 95-2716 (Hill v. Porter Memorial Hospital)

MANION, Circuit Judge.

While at work Robert Hill fell from a loading dock onto railroad tracks crushing his face and jaw. He was rushed to a hospital where one day later he suffered respiratory arrest. Further complications, including lack of oxygen to Hill’s brain during the respiratory arrest, produced a coma and he eventually died. Hill’s widow sued claiming medical malpractice.
