In the final episode of this three-part series, Plaintiff Billy Fern takes the stand and finally has the chance to share his truth with the jury.
Once the jury hears from all the witnesses for both the defense and plaintiffs, Billy’s attorneys from Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard ask the jury for $40 million dollars to compensate Billy for his physical and financial losses. Billy’s future now lies in the hands of the jury. It’s the moment of truth. Will they agree with the Ferns and see the magnitude of this medical error, or will they see things from the doctors’ side?
Listen in to hear the jury’s decision.

- Laurel Fern
- “His future, medically, it’s totally uncertain because at any time a complication can occur and some of them can even be life threatening.”
- Patrick A. Salvi II
- “All they had to do was pick up the phone and call a vascular surgeon and this would have been diagnosed, treated, and there would not have been a lawsuit. Billy would have his foot.”
- David J. Rashid
- “I think the bigger point is that you and I don’t get a broken foot every time we try to go hiking. Every time he tries to do the things that he used to do, the things that he enjoys doing, the things that make him who he is, his foot breaks, his prosthetics break.”
- Jennifer M. Cascio
- “We knew they were going to have their minds blown by what we were asking for the jury.”
