RRMC Faces 3rd Wrongful Death Suit
Rutland, Vermont - May 28, 2008
For the third time this year, a wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against Rutland Regional Medical Center.
The family of 68-year-old Robert Forrest is suing the medical center for $4 million. The lawsuit alleges the hospital prescribed him five times the appropriate dosage of insulin. A death certificate confirmed the man from Brandon injected the wrong amount of insulin.
The other lawsuits include a patient who fell out of bed and died, and a man who was allegedly given too much medicine after a car accident.
