Provena St. Joseph's Medical Center

Ottawa - Darlene Walsh had been diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia, prompting her admission to the medical center. She was to be on suicide watch, but four days after her admission, Walsh tried to hang herself with a strap. She was deprived of oxygen, which put her into a vegetative state. Walsh's family filed a medical malpractice lawsuit. Provena St. Joseph's Medical Center admitted responsibility and has agreed to a $1 million settlement.
