PARKERSBURG HOSPITAL ORDERED TO PAY $1.3 MILLION

(05/31/2007)
A Parkersburg hospital has been ordered to pay a $1.3 million sanction in a medical malpractice lawsuit.

A judge says Camden Clark violated court orders, along with other charges of misconduct, during a recent trial.

Wood County Circuit Court Judge Robert Waters imposed the sanction.

Waters' order says Camden-Clark's misconduct included a series of inaccurate answers during the discovery process and inaccurate testimony.

This order came from an underlying lawsuit alleging the malpractice in the death of Hilda Boggs.
