A jury handed up a $14 million verdict Monday against two Philadelphia hospitals for fatally botching the intubation of a 4-year-old patient. The jurors determined that the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the sole defendant at trial, held most of the responsibility (67%) for Samuel Munoz's death at an Einstein Medical Center satellite hospital in Elkins Park. CHOP had previously evaded liability in the case when a 2020 trial ended in a nonsuit in its favor.
