In October 2007, then 31-year old Tina Holstein gave birth to her third child at Community General Hospital in Syracuse, New York.  After the delivery, Holstein felt ill and began to vomit.  A nurse at the hospital decided to administer an intramuscular injection to help Holstein feel better, however later she began to feel that the injection had caused permanent damage to her sciatic nerve.

Holstein pursed a lawsuit against the nurse who administered the injection and Community General Hospital for failing to correctly administer the injection causing permanent injury.  The suit against the nurse was dropped, but Holstein was awarded $1.69 million in damages from the hospital.
