Medical Malpractice Case gives Man’s Family $1.25 Million

A man died from an esophagus tear, but was treated as a hiatal hernia. The man’s family has been awarded $1.25 million in a medical malpractice case. The man originally went into the hospital when he had chest pains and said he felt like a piece of meat “went down the wrong way.” His injury was misdiagnosed as a large hiatal hernia and he was treated with oral medicines. He soon returned to the hospital with more pain, when his injury was finally diagnosed, but it was too late at that point and he died after going into cardiac arrest.
