She received 270 centigrays instead of 180 centigrays. Her husband sued for medical negligence and he claimed that the hospital was negligent by not looking at her charts and catching their overadiation mistake. The overadiation caused the perforation of her bowel that caused a bacterial infection in her blood and her death.
