Whether the hold was ever imposed is a matter of perspective, not a lie. The paperwork was apparently done, and so the Plaintiff can claim it technically existed, but the hospital is not lying when it says no hold existed because the crazy SOB skedaddled before they could execute the physical protocols for the hold, hence it never existed in fact from their point of view.
Hospital's Insurance company will most likely settle, probably for between one and two hundred grand depending on their policy limits, and the attorney will get 30-40 percent of it skimmed right off the top before any expenses like experts, consulting docs, and deposition costs get paid out of the pot, so half of it will disappear before the DUmmy freeloaders ever see a dime. If the patient was as hosed up as the DUmmie claims, I find it hard to believe he had titanic future earning potential, aside from disability benefits.
