A jury has reportedly awarded a plaintiff just over $650,000 in regard to a medical malpractice case. According to reports, the man was seeking $6.8 million against doctors and a hospital he claims didn't do all they could to save his wife. The jury reportedly only found that one person's negligence was involved in the cause of the death, not everyone accused of negligence. His wife reportedly died when she was treated for pneumonia but actually had congestive heart failure that kept worsening.
