Case Details
A Tuscaloosa County jury awarded $30 million to the family of Johnny Terrell Sledge, who died at DCH Regional Medical Center. He was injured by a gunshot wound and needed surgery, but the 'on call' trauma surgeon, Dr. Bilton, failed to show up, prioritizing an elective surgery. Hospital policies allowed this, and the patient died waiting for care.
