Court accepted plaintiff’s account and disbelieved the therapist; found defendant negligent in failing to warn, train and supervise and in maintaining an inadequate user manual; accepted expert opinion that the macular hole was traumatic or materially contributed to by the periorbital suction massage; therefore defendant liable (vicariously and in its own right) and plaintiff entitled to damages awarded for pain, suffering and special damages.
