Description
In this action based upon alleged medical malpractice plaintiff seeks damages for the wrongful death and conscious pain and suffering of Catherine Killeen, the 39-year-old housewife and mother of six. In late November, 1971, Mrs. Killeen, who was then about six months pregnant with twins, suffered an attack of asthma. Her obstetrician, Dr. Henry Reinhardt, prescribed some medication. Despite such medication, however, Mrs. Killeens condition worsened and, on December 2, 1971, she visited Dr. James Nichlas, an associate of Dr. Reinhardt, complaining of breathing difficulties, coughing and vomiting. Pursuant to Dr. Nichlas instructions Mrs. Killeen was admitted that same day to defendant hospital and was seen by Dr. Sanesi, an attending physician apparently specializing in internal medicine. On December 3 Mrs. Killeen was more comfortable and the day passed uneventfully. However, her condition suddenly deteriorated in the early morning hours of December 4, causing her demise within 24 hours. The immediate cause of death was bronchial pneumonia.
