In 2001, the injury victim in this case, Edward Anderson, was in the intensive care unit of Provena St. Marys Hospital in Cook County, suffering from epiglottitis. A negligence action was later filed on his behalf, based on a severe and permanent brain injury which he suffered when an emergency room physician attempted to intubate him after responding to a Code Blue based on the patients labored breathing and pain on swallowing. Anderson is now a disabled person.
Chief Justice Garman and Justices Freeman, Kilbride, Karmeier, Burke, and Theis concurred in the judgment and opinion.

In the circuit court of Cook County, this defendant was charged with computer tampering in 2008.
