Facts:
On March 7, 2009, plaintiff Irma Martinez brought her 11-day-old daughter, Naomi Maria, to pediatrician Valarie Salmon at Bakings Medical Center for an evaluation.
Two days earlier, lesions appeared on Naomi’s face and ear.
Martinez asked Salmon to perform tests on the lesions, but Salmon declined, saying that tests were unnecessary, and that the child had an ordinary rash or mosquito bites.
After an emergency room visit four days later, it was discovered that Naomi had an infectious disease, and as a result, severe brain damage.
