Recent Medical Malpractice Case Example

The Denver Post recently reported on a case of a Colorado man who died in 2004. In 2001, the healthy 22 year-old passed out and his doctor found a CT scan to be inconclusive. The doctor thought there could be a cyst - and recommended admission to a hospital and further review under a neurosurgeon. The neurosurgeon advised immediate brain surgery, telling his parents he would probably die without it. But first the surgeon said a drain needed to be inserted. After that procedure, a nurse told the parents the patient had stopped breathing.

If you think that you may have been the victim of medical malpractice, it is important that you discuss your case with an attorney as soon as possible.
