She did sue and they settled.
After reading the story it appears that she might have gotten what could be considered substandard health care.I come to this suspicion thanks to the skull fracture that the original hospital missed as well as her having been held (for observation,I assume) at another hospital a day or two later.
The original hospital settled,I'll wager,to keep the story out of the papers and I'll bet they didn't settle for much.
As for the discharge instructions...having worked in an ER for many,many years I can say that while they were,perhaps,a bit overboard they didn't violate any part of a code of ethics or standard of practice and the only jury that would have awarded her $$$ for the instructions themselves would have been an OJ-type jury....i.e,limited collective IQ.
