About
Dr. Benjamin Kaufman testified for the Commonwealth on Day 4 about treating Callan Clancy on January 24, 2023, after EMS brought him to the hospital with CPR ongoing. Under questioning by Jennifer Sprague, he described placing a breathing tube, establishing intravenous access, and administering epinephrine. A heartbeat returned, which Kaufman guessed occurred roughly 10 minutes after arrival.
Kaufman said Callan did not breathe independently during his care. He reported the lowest Glasgow Coma Scale score and no brain function evident on examination, while emphasizing that he was not a neurologist and distinguishing his emergency examination from a definitive neurological assessment.
He described arranging helicopter transfer to Boston Children's Hospital because Plymouth Hospital lacked the pediatric care Callan required, with ICU doctors advising by telephone. Defense counsel Kevin Reddington declined cross-examination.
