A Florida jury has ordered a hospital and gynecologist to pay $30 million for negligence that led to a 17-year-old boy's physical and mental disabilities. The jurors awarded $24 million in compensatory damages and $6 million in non-economic damages against Westside Regional Medical Center and Dr. Mark Grenitz.
