Nurse Erica welcomes Connecticut attorney and state representative Matt Blumenthal to discuss the medical malpractice case of Ludmilla Pyleva, who lost her vision after chlorhexidine-based surgical prep allegedly entered her eye during brain surgery at Yale New Haven Hospital. The patient, already functionally blind in her left eye, woke from brain surgery with profound vision loss in her right eye. He explains how the medical negligence case was investigated and tried, why a jury awarded $15.1 million, and what the case may teach hospitals about eye protection, safety protocols, and patient advocacy. The discussion raises concerns about the absence of written protocols and an internal root-cause analysis or morbidity-and-mortality review.   Advertise on the show!
