The patient was a quadriplegic following a motor vehicle acci dent. He filed a lawsuit claiming that the skin lesions he con tracted in the hospital were the result of negligent care on the part of his nurses. At trial, it was noted that the patient's sacral bed sores and decubitus ulcers did first appear while he was immobile in a Minerva brace and on a ventilator.
