A wrongful death lawsuit targets UnityPoint Healths Iowa Methodist Medical Center, alleging negligence in Stephen Likers care. Liker, an Ankeny resident, suffered a massive stroke in January 2024, but staff failed to conduct a crucial neuro check for nearly seven hours. The hospital is accused of violating the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), with a history of similar violations. The lawsuit charges malpractice, corporate negligence, and wrongful death, as the hospital denies the claims and moves the case to federal court.
