There is nothing like wrong site surgery to prompt a family to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. It is a surgeon\u2019s responsibility to get it right the first time.<\/p>\n
There are a number of really shocking cases that I\u2019ve heard about in my time as a New Hampshire personal injury lawyer<\/a> and this one really takes the cake. It involves a botched brain surgery, performed on the wrong side of the head. For the life of me, I can\u2019t understand how intelligent doctors could operate on the wrong side of a patient\u2019s head, but there you have it.<\/p>\n The patient in question, a 49-year-old woman, first went to the ER at her local hospital, complaining of severe headaches. The attending radiologist spotted a serious leak from an artery in her brain. Unfortunately, he was unable to stop the source of the bleeding and the patient was transferred to an OR for emergency surgery.<\/p>\n
