In the suit, Louis Johnson also charged that the hospital failed to provide adequate medical care and was negligent in treating her 61-year-old wife, Judith, from her heart attack on May 6, 2007. He sought an unspecified amount of damages and penalty.
Johnson brought his wife to the hospital at 7:35 p.m. for treatment of indigestion but she soon suffered a heart attack at 8:05 p.m. Doctors called for Johnson, who was in the waiting room, and told him his wife did not respond to resuscitation and never regained a pulse so she was declared dead at 8:34 p.m.
At 9:50 p.m., a nurse noticed Judith was still breathing and alive.
