Hancock, Rothert & Bunshoft, L.L.P.

Medical Malpractice Defense Verdict
After a two week jury trial held in the Circuit Court for Berkeley County, West Virginia, Michael E. Olszewski, Esq. obtained a defense verdict for his client, a general surgeon. The defendant surgeon performed an open cholecystectomy. After the cholecystectomy, the patient was restarted on blood thinners for his prosthetic heart valve. The patient hemorrhaged day 5 post-op and died the following day. Plaintiff's counsel alleged the defendant surgeon failed to perform surgery in order to stop the internal bleeding and to treat the patient's abdominal compression syndrome. Mr. Olszewski established that the bleeding was caused by a toxic level of Refludan, a dangerous blood thinner, which could not be reversed due to kidney failure. Mr. Olszewski further established that surgery would not have helped the patient whatsoever. The jury agreed and returned a verdict in favor of the surgeon.
