MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Spinal surgeon patient sues his doctor . . .

August 13, 2008 – Medical malpractice can occur anywhere, anytime; even when one physician, in need of spinal surgery, hand selects another physician for the operation.

That’s what happened when a Connecticut spinal surgeon traveled to Richmond, Virginia, in 2005 to undergo spinal surgery at the hands of a specialist he personally selected, but was left painfully injured with a spinal cord injury.

The Connecticut spinal surgeon, suffering after the operation from what is called “chronic pain syndrome,” filed a malpractice lawsuit against the Virginia spinal surgeon, charging malpractice and negligence.

A Richmond state court judge agreed and ruled that the defendant surgeon violated medical standards – and awarded the injured surgeon $650,000 in damages.

When a man puts his trust in a specialist, and that trust is betrayed, a medical malpractice lawyer can be his best protector.
