PA: Jury Seated in Med Mal Trial of Doctor Against Hospital

In 2013, a 26-year-old doctor who was a member of The Commonwealth Medical College’s charter class, died of complications from a blood clot at the hospital in which she was about to start her pediatric residency.  Suit filed on the doctor’s behalf alleges negligent treatment.  Jury selection took 2 days as a pool of 70 was reduced to 16.  The trial is expected to be long and involve numerous witnesses.  The Wilkes-Barre Times Leader has details.
