The Des Moines Register , Friday, June 21, 1991 HOSPITAL, DOCTOR TO PAY $4 MILLION TO SETTLE SUIT
DAVENPORT, IA. - Keokuk Area Hospital and a doctor have agreed to pay nearly $4 million to a 6-year-old girl to settle a lawsuit claiming that the defendants failed to diagnose the girl's meningitis, said Tom Riley, a Cedar Rapids attorney for the girl and her mother. Dawna Ash, of Wayland, Mo., sued the hospital and Dr. Brian Rees, now of California, in federal court in Davenport. Ash claimed that her daughter, April Miller, was misdiagnosed in 1987 in the emergency room of the hospital as having viral gastroenteritis and that her daughter suffered neurological injuries resulting in an abnormal walk, Riley said. Ash and Miller were living in Keokuk at the time the girl became ill. The hospital had no comment, and Rees could not be reached. Tom Riley Law Firm, P.L.C.
