The county Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to pay a $250,000 settlement to the parents of a 14-year-old boy who died after the staff at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center failed to treat his appendicitis.
According to settlement documents, Andrew Garcia came to the hospital on Nov. 16, 2005, suffering from vomiting, abdominal pain and a fever. He was diagnosed with gastritis and sent home, according to the documents.
