Medical Malpractice Case Settled in Botched Surgery Matter
Posted on Apr 6, 2010 4:00pm PDT
A jury has awarded a woman $395,000 in a matter where a doctor realized he botched her surgery and then drove her to a hospital where he left her in front of the emergency room. The doctor was performing a routine gallbladder operation, which resulted in the woman returning and complaining of pain. After a scan, it was shown that he cut and clipped the wrong area. Instead of treating her, he personally drove her to the emergency room.
