SEATTLE – The City of Seattle and a home health care agency wrote a check for $600,000 to a woman with multiple sclerosis after she nearly died in their care.
The money is to settle a lawsuit alleging the woman was neglected in her wheelchair, left for so long that she developed life-threatening bedsores.
Doctors diagnosed Patricia Leonard of West Seattle with multiple sclerosis when she was 24. By the time she was 27, she was in a wheelchair.
Before that, Patricia was a Boeing machinist, a ski instructor and a scuba diver.
