Child’s family awarded $67.6 milli
DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas
County jury has awarded $67.5
million to the family of a 10-year-
old girl whose leg was amputat
ed after crucial MRI results went
missing for more than a day at
Children’s Medical Center.
The girl was five when the
family’s burro used its teeth to
grab her by the abdomen and
pick her up, causing internal in
juries.
Doctors removed part of her
intestines but did not discover a
blood clot that cut off circulation
to her left leg because the test re
sults were misplaced, her fami
ly’s attorney said.
Fred Evans and his family ac
cused the Dallas hospital of neg
ligence, arguing the amputation
would not have been necessary
had doctors been able to review
the results of the MRI sooner.
Maureen Murry, an attorney
for the hospital, declined com
ment. The hospital’s only com
ment came through a statement
issued Saturday.
“Children’s continues to be
lieve it acted appropriately,’’ the
statement says in part.
The hospital plans to chal
lenge the ruling, which included
$50 million in punitive damages,
according to the statement.
An attorney for the girl’s fam
ily told The Dallas Morning News
that his clients bear no ill will
against the hospital.
“Children’s is a great place,
but it is flawed in some areas,”
Keith Lemons said. The girl's rel
atives “want to make it a better
place. They don’t want to tear it
down.”
The Evans family declined to
be interviewed. Lemons said the
family lives in a suburb north of
Dallas.
After the burro attack in May
1993, the girl was flown to Park
land Memorial Hospital where
doctors removed part of her in
testine, Lemons said.
Doctors later ordered an MRI
performed at Children’s. The mis
placement of the results kept doc
tors from discovering a blood clot
in the girl’s aorta that cut the cir
culation to her leg, Ur.

had been caught withii.;,

Fort Worth Livestock Show
bull escapes, woman injured
Replant
Continued from Page 1
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP)
— A bull named Dillinger es
caped from his pen at the
Southwestern Exposition and
Livestock Show and Rodeo
and rampaged through the
concourse, bumping into
people and crashing into a
beer stand.
The bull was captured
alive, unlike his namesake,
Depression-era bank robber
John Dillinger.
Cowboys on horseback
chased the bull down the
concourse and roped him.
Several people suffered
minor bumps and bruises,
and a 66-year-old woman re
ceived a gash in the head
from a flying piece of wood
after the bull knocked over
the beer stand.
The unidentified woman
was taken to Harris
Methodist hospital where she
was in stable condition, the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram re
ported.
A vendor, Trent Hackney,
21, told the newspaper he
was in the concourse at Will
Rogers Memorial Coliseum
when he saw people scurry
ing out of the bull’s path.
Hackney said he tried to
hide behind the beer stand
just as the hornless, one-ton
bull plowed into it.
“It knocked me over and
every which way,” said Hack
ney, his jeans drenched with
beer.
“I tried to hide behind it
(the stand). I didn’t know the
bull was going to hit the
stand, and it did.”
Trey Watt, assistant gener
al manager of the stock show,
said the bull climbed over a
6-foot-high chute wall and
onto the concourse.
Lights in the arena were
dimmed at the time for a
clown’s performance but
were turned on immediately,
and the audience was
warned about the charging
beast.
“Please do not leave your
seats,” the announcer told
the audience.
“Please do not go into the
concourse. There’s a bull in
the concourse.”
Neal Gay, who has provid
ed livestock to the rodeo for
25 years, described the bull
as “pretty gentle” and a vet
eran of rodeos for two years.
“He just wanted out. He
didn’t want to hurt anybody,”
Gay said. “The bull was just
as shaken as many of the
people.”
He said he had never seen
a bull escape from the chute.
Gay said that if Dillinger
“would have been a fighting
bull, it would have been a lot
worse than it was.”
