Dozens of women say they suffered excruciating pain at the Ivy League school fertility clinic after a nurse stole fentanyl and replaced it with saline.
Dozens of women who say they suffered excruciating pain at a Yale University fertility clinic because a nurse stole fentanyl for her own use and replaced it with saline have settled their lawsuits against the Ivy League school. Patients and their lawyers announced the settlements Monday in New Haven, Conn., where Yale is located. Details of the agreements were not released, but lawyers said they included significant financial settlements.
Yale said in a statement that the agreement 'allows both parties to move forward and begin healing,' adding that it has instituted new safeguards since discovering the nurse's actions, including more training and supervision. Seven women initially sued Yale in 2021. Dozens more patients later came forward and filed lawsuits, bringing the total number of plaintiffs to more than 150, including nearly 100 patients.
