Mom of Toddler Who Died After Missouri Clinic Visit Awarded $1.8M July 6, 2021
The family of a toddler who died just three hours after being misdiagnosed at a Branson, Mo., urgent care clinic is receiving $1.8 million in damages.
Jurors in Taney County recently awarded Kassie Mcatee nearly $3.2 million in damages in the June 2017 death of her 1-year-old son, Kyler George. But a judge reduced the amount because of a Missouri law that puts a fixed hard cap on medical malpractice damages, KOLR reports.
“This is a daily hell that I live, because somebody didn’t take the time to do their job,” Mcatee said.
BRANSON, Mo. (AP) – The family of a toddler who died just three hours after being misdiagnosed at a Branson urgent care clinic is receiving $1.8 million in damages.
Jurors in Taney County recently awarded Kassie Mcatee nearly $3.2 million in damages in the June 2017 death of her 1-year-old son, Kyler George. But a judge reduced the amount because of a Missouri law that puts a fixed hard cap on medical malpractice damages, KOLR reports.
“This is a daily hell that I live, because somebody didn’t take the time to do their job,” Mcatee said.
According to a news release, Kyler was pale and lethargic when Mcatee brought him to the Urgent Care at CoxHealth Hospital Branson. He was diagnosed with an ear infection, sent home and died three hours later.
