Medical Malpractice Verdict Overturned
Posted on Sep 28, 2010 5:55pm PDT
In Arkansas, a medical malpractice verdict has been thrown out on grounds that leaving a sponge in a patient is not an automatic reason for liability. The jury in the case decided that the patient should receive $100,000. The sponge was reportedly left in the man's body during a gall bladder operation. The case has been sent back to trial as the judge had previously already decided that the doctor was guilty instead of the jury deciding the matter.
