A neurosurgeon who suffered an injury that resulted in amputation of his right leg has received $3.25 million from a jury decision. As the surgeon was working on patients, he was struck in the leg by a broken hospital bed being pushed down the hall. As he is diabetic, the injury soon became infected as it was not handled properly. He then needed to have his leg amputated which has made it impossible for him to continue his career as a surgeon.
