NEW YORK - A jury has awarded nearly $11 million to a woman who became partially paralyzed after waiting two hours for a hospital brain scan.
Jurors found New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens was negligent in caring for Candida Diego after she fractured her skull in a fall in September 2004.
A spokeswoman says the hospital doesn't believe it is liable for the 71-year-old's condition and is appealing the Oct. 3 decision awarding her $10.7 million.
Court documents say Diego was cleared for a brain scan two hours before she got one. The test was intended to check for bleeding.
Court papers say Diego lapsed into a coma in the emergency room less than an hour after the scan. She now has no movement in her left side and uses a wheelchair.
So that's healthcare for about 11000 kids for a year. 2 hours is considered a short delay when dealing with issues like heart attacks; wonder how much more of this will happen with Obamacare.
Exxon mobil doesn't even make $5 million an hour.

Is your thread intent on Obama or the article about the health care the lady received.
Trying to tie the two together (in this fashion) is pure trolling and is what caused the lock.
The thread can be recreated if the references to Obama are removed and kept out
Quality of health care is acceptable within the thread, not a discussion on political platforms
