Large million-dollar award

Following the delivery of her child, a woman from northern Pennsylvania began developing blood clots in her leg (the medical term is deep venous thrombosis). Her obstetrician did not give her proper blood-thinning medication and, as a result, one of the clots in the leg broke off and caused a delay in diagnosing a pulmonary embolus. A large million-dollar award was obtained for the widow of this woman and her young child.
