A New York judge has awarded $2.2 million to a quadriplegic former construction worker who developed severe bedsores while recovering from a spinal cord injury. According to an attorney for the plaintiff, staff at the Westchester Medical Center failed to regularly turn the patient during his stay at the hospital. The bedsores had to be surgically closed and prevented the patient from participating in physical therapy, his attorney said.
