According to the Pasadena Star-News, Suzanne Whatley-Miller was awarded $3.5 million in general damages, as well as pain and suffering, and $1 million in economic damages. She had filed a medical malpractice suit against Dr. Collin Cooper, the physician who wrongly diagnosed her husband, Thomas Miller.
