Episode Details

A landmark court ruling has awarded a severely disabled boy, TK, nearly $3.6 million in damages after his parents won a decade-long legal battle against the obstetrician who delivered him. The Court of Appeal unanimously upheld the verdict, finding Dr. Gregory Carey’s use of two assisted-delivery methods fell below the standard of care and directly caused TK’s catastrophic brain injuries. Born in 2012, TK now lives with multiple lifelong disabilities including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and microcephaly, and is in a vegetative state. His parents, desperate for closure before his 14th birthday, urge Dr. Carey to settle swiftly — emphasizing the emotional toll of ongoing delays and the urgent need to fund TK’s care. The court confirmed no error in the trial judge’s findings, reinforcing that the doctor’s actions were negligent and failed to meet professional standards.
