Family members indicated that, on that day, she couldn&#8217;t stop tapping her fingers, she stared into space, and she had difficulty speaking. A neurologist misdiagnosed the condition as ischemia, or stroke, and a radiologist incorrectly read an MRI of her brain as evidencing a stroke. The patient remained in the hospital for five days, was released, then returned two days later with breathing difficulties. The delay in diagnosing a viral infection resulted in permanent brain damage. She had developed HSE, or herpes simplex encephalitis, which is caused by the same virus that triggers common cold sores. A timely test for the virus was not performed, nor was the antiviral medication Acyclovir appropriately administered. The woman was left with no memory and is unable to care for herself.<\/p>\n<h2>$6.75 Million<\/h2>\n<p>J. v.
