New York City and Brooklyn Hospital Center has settled with Tabitha Mullings, over medical malpractice and negligence complaints. Mullings will receive $8.5 million from New York City, and $9.4 million from the hospital, ending a three-year legal battle.

In 2008, Mullings went to the emergency room, where she was diagnosed with a kidney stone and sent home. The following day, Mullings called 911 twice for help because she was experiencing unbearable pain and numbness. FDNY medics did not take her to the hospital.
