Claire Rashad and her clients were sitting in the conference room with waiting for Dr. Hattaway and her lawyer Robert Romano. Claire was asking Ms. And Ms. Foster Adams what did they wanna do. We been discussing it and we don't drag this whole thing to court, we wanna settle out court. Stef says to Claire very well
I just want you both to prepare Robert Dr. Hattaway attorney wants make a settlement in the amount of twelve thousand dollars Claire said. Oh hell no, this woman tried to kill our baby
After finding she's been administering
Morphine in her lV, and on top everything else we found out as my wife suspected Francesca has a viral affection she got from this hospital
After receiving her lab results from Abby Lockhart who did her blood work. I think the appropriate amount
Where wanting 2.4 million dollars
Dr. Hathaway will pay all Francesca's medical bills at both hospitals and I think her license should be suspended for at least two years, Stef says to Claire. Yes I saw the lab report and looked it over, l just want you too be prepared in case they wanna take this thing to court. I received a anonymous tip yesterday saying due to the negligence of your daughter getting sick here was the final straw
So when they come in let me do all the talking. Claire Said to her clients
We understand both women replied
Good morning sorry where late
Robert States, as he and Dr. Hathaway
Took a seat at the table, l know we all don't wanna take this thing to court
So my clients and I have discussed what we feel. Will be appropriate  offer, 2.4 million dollars and Dr. Hathaway will pay for all Francesca's medical bills at both hospitals.
I also feel no minor child be given
A high doses of morphine, you could have killed that their daughter due to your negligence. She contacted a viral affection from this place and she's still not out the woods, that poor little girl is fighting for her life. This types things only happen when a hospital is not properly sanitizer, we are holding you accountable. These women should have never been treated unfairly which brings me to my next question. The center of disease control, is coming in later in this week
How often do you sterilize all your instruments you use in or, cause they trusted their daughter in your care and fail them on both counts so they be rewarded 2.5 million dollars for emotional distress for themselves
I have too sworn affidavits from your staff who shall remain nameless
I have a written report if you need proof. Claire Stated, Robert wasn't aware of this new information
I would like a word with my client
He States as they got up from the table and left the conference room, there's no way Dr. Hathaway can talk her way out of this mishap Claire explains
Lena just shook her head. Trust l think their gonna wanna settle,
Dr. Hathaway owes you a formal apology. Claire responds, the three women waited patiently. Robert and Dr. Hathaway enters back in the room taking their places at the table.
My client is willing to take a pay cut
Will settle all the bills but not the class action suit Robert tells Claire
Well I guess will see you in court, l was trying to make it easy on you. But you decided to play hard ball, there's so much paperwork and
Evidence against your client that can caused her to lose her medical license
Me and my clients will give you some time alone. We will resume in a hour
That should give you enough time to come to your senses Claire stands up to her feet, Lena and Stef follow behind their attorney. Out of the door
Robert l fucked up bad everything there lawyer mentioned l never meant to hurt that poor child, did you know the blonde hair woman is er physician and she knows her shit
For so strange reason Ms. Foster Adams, already Francesca's diagnosis
She knew the symptoms without having to look at her daughter's medical chart. Robert l want to go drag this to court, let's just give them what their asking for. I'll pay for that little girl medical bills, l will take a pay cut for a year and the director
Of the hospital peter Benton and l have spoken. I'm not allowed to practice medicine for one year
He's sending me to new York City
to teach , he hasn't told me what yet
I signed an agreement with him as of yesterday l'm no longer working in this hospital anymore. Carol replied
Are you sure because once this deal goes through there's no turning back
Do you understand carol, how could you be so careless to mess up like this
You could have killed that child for Pete sake. I hope you learn a valuable lesson through all this Robert tells Carol who's practically in tears, oh no you don't. We don't cry during a briefing, you need to make this right
Robert says to Carol. She wipes her eyes, Claire Rashad and her clients return to the conference room
And get down to business. After to speaking to Dr. Hathaway she's willing to settle out of court and she has signed the forms. You have my deepest sympathy on behalf of this hospital, l'm sorry this has happened
to your little girl, you should expect your settlement check in the mail in 7-14 days. Robert States he shakes hands with Claire Rashad, the women were over come with emotion.
