SUMMARY:Lunch Talk: “The Retrievals” case with Kelly Fitzpatrick and Josh Koskoff
DESCRIPTION:Join the Systemic Justice Project and Torts R Us to hear from Kelly Fitzpatrick and Josh Koskoff 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.” \nRead more about Kelly and Josh and RSVP here. \nEvent hosted by the Systemic Justice Project.
