Deborah Craven, 60, was scheduled to have eights rib removed in May 2015 at Yale Hospital in Connecticut. The operation was consider a success, but when Craven woke up, she was still experiencing pain at the surgery site. She was sent for an X-ray, where it was discovered that the wrong rib had been removed and metal coils used during the surgery had been left inside of her. Ms. Craven was immediately prepped for another operation by a different doctor than the one who performed the first surgery. She was told the second surgery was necessary because not enough of the first rib had been removed. At no time was Craven told that the surgery was necessary because the wrong rib was removed. After learning about the doctor’s attempt to cover up his mistake, Craven filed a medical negligence lawsuit seeking compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and possibly punitive damages if the court finds the surgeon’s action egregious.

While waiting for her lawsuit to reach settlement or court, Craven would still need to pay medical bills accrued from both surgeries and various medical tests. Those extra and very large bills, over an above her regular financial obligations, may be difficult to pay. The perfect solution for her during the litigation process may be to apply for litigation funding either online or by calling, toll free from anywhere within the United States. 1-866-LITFUND (548-3863)

There is no cost associated with applying for a lawsuit loan and no fees are charged unless you win your case. Should you lose the case in court, you keep your pre-settlement funding, and do not pay one dime back. If the case is successful in court you repay a flat fee amount according to your contract terms. However, you also get a rebate if there is an early settlement and a fair compromise should the settlement be disappointingly inadequate.

A medical malpractice lawsuit has been filed by a Connecticut woman after the wrong rib was removed during surgery. According to the suit, Deborah Craven was scheduled to have her eighth rib removed due to a lesion that was causing intense pain. The lawsuit alleges that the rib was marked by radiologists with metallic coils and a marking dye meant to avoid confusion. However, after surgery, Craven was still in pain so an x-ray was performed. It appears that despite the precautions, a surgeon-in-training who was allowed to conduct the surgery, removed the wrong rib and left the metal coils inside of her. To add insult to injury, the suit alleges the surgery then tried to cover up his mistake. The lawsuit explains that Dr. Anthony Kim, who did not partake in the surgery, informed Craven of the mistake and scheduled her in for follow-up surgery. However, the doctor who operated, Dr. Ricardo Quarrie, told Craven that the second surgery was necessary because not enough of the rib had been removed during the first surgery. The lawsuit names Yale-New Haven Hospital, as well as Yale Medical Group in Connecticut, Yale University and two physicians as defendants.
