A Cook County jury has ordered a group of medical professionals and organizations, including Chicago’s Mercy Hospital and Medical Center, to pay more than $22 million to the family of a mother of six children who suffered brain damage, leaving her disabled and dependent on the care of others, as a result of an alleged lack of medical attention to a tracheostomy blocked by blood clots more than 10 years ago.
