Mercy Springfield Ordered To Pay $28.9M In Negligence Lawsuit
For failure to diagnose Emilee Williams’ rare health disorder in a timely manner, Mercy Clinic Springfield Communities has been accused of negligence and ordered by a jury to pay $28.9 million to Williams. Because of the medical center’s delay in diagnosing her with Wilson’s disease, Williams claims her disorder became more severe — so severe that she “now must be fed through a tube.”
