SUMMARY:The Retrievals: A Conversation with Kelly Fitzpatrick and John Koskoff
DESCRIPTION:Thurs. Oct. 2 @ Lunch –– WCC 2012 \nJoin Kelly Fitzpatrick and Josh Koskoff to talk about their civil law case against Yale New Haven Hospital on behalf of Yale Fertility Center patients who were harmed in the story told in The Retrievals\, a five-part podcast hosted by author and “This American Life” editor Susan Burton. \n“The Retrievals” tells the story of a dozen women who underwent egg retrieval procedures at the Yale Fertility Center. For months they complained of severe pain. But nobody caught on to exactly what was wrong\, until one day when an anesthesiologist noticed a loose cap on a vial of fentanyl. Soon the truth was revealed: a nurse at the clinic had been stealing the pain medication and replacing it with saline. Eventually the nurse has her own story\, about her own pain\, that she tells to the court. And then there is the story of how this all could have happened at the Yale clinic in the first place. “The Retrievals” is about the patients who say their pain was dismissed\, a nurse who was hiding something\, and the institution that failed to protect its patients.” \nLunch will be provided!

SUMMARY:Your Money or Your Life: Antitrust and Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Tues. Oct. 28\, 2025 @ Lunch — WCC 1023 \nCompetition in healthcare is not like competition in most other industries. Those who pay (typically the insurance companies) don’t choose the products or services being purchased. And those who choose (typically the doctors and patients) don’t pay most of the cost. This\, among other unique features of the healthcare industry\, creates a market that can be manipulated by institutions with market power. \nWhat\, if anything\, can the antitrust laws do to fix that? \nJoin attorneys from Berger Montague to find out. \nLunch provided. RSPV here.
