In December 2023, a jury found Dr. Bradley, a physical therapist at Upstate, 100% negligent in the care and treatment of Geraldine Pace, a longtime home economics teacher at Garrett Middle School. Mrs. Pace dedicated her career to ensuring her students had the skills to live healthy, independent lives. Tragically, in 2014, she suffered serious surgical complications under Dr. Bradley’s care, requiring a revision surgery that left her unable to live independently for the remainder of her life.
From that point forward, she depended entirely on her husband, Ronald Pace, and their daughter for every aspect of daily living—dressing, bathing, toileting, cooking, cleaning, and even walking. Confined to a hospital bed in her living room, she never shared the marital bed with her husband again.
In 2023, a jury not only found Dr. Bradley liable for medical malpractice but also awarded $7 million to the Estate of Geraldine Pace and her surviving husband.
