Woman Sues Boulder Hospital After Getting Burned

A Colorado woman filed a lawsuit against a Boulder hospital. The complaint alleges that a hot water bottle placed underneath her to alleviate pain resulted in third degree burns on her backside.

Specifically, the woman claims that while she was under anesthesia while in child labor and thus could not feel the heat. Despite the extreme heat emanating from the water bottle, the nurses continued to refill the water.

The complaint states “Defendant BCH (Boulder Community Hospital) knew or should have known about the dangerous condition on its premise, to-wit, a hot water bottle placed for an extended period of time on the lower back and buttocks of a patient who had been anesthetized and could not feel it.”

According to the plaintiff, the burns have kept her from obtaining health insurance for herself and two children and has caused “disabling, incapacitating and humiliating” injuries.
