1992] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 587 agreement, residents working in the program serve at various area hospitals, including the University of Illinois Hospital, under the supervision of faculty from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine. Payments to the residents are made through Mercy Hospital under an arrangement developed in cooperation with the "Metro Six" institutions to foster cooperation in the training of emergency room physicians. This arrangement ensures that participants in the residency programs of local institutions have the opportunity to work in settings that offer appropriate clinical experiences that would not otherwise be available. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval. On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Downey, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Reese, Mrs. Shepherd; no, none; absent, Mr. Boyle, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Ms. Caporusso, Mr. Mitchell; no, none.) Authorization for Settlement (39) The university counsel and the vice president for business and finance recommend that the board approve settlement of the claim of Dorwana Townsend-McCray in the amount of $225,000. The claimant alleged that the University of Illinois Hospital's Obstetrics and Gynecology Department perforated her bowel in three places during a laparoscopy causing massive abdominal infection and sepsis. Our principal defense was that bowel perforation is a rare but known complication of laparoscopy. I recommend approval.
