Description
A patient approached a plastic surgeon, seeking a facelift. The surgeon evaluated the patient and scheduled the procedure. The patient was on medication for high blood pressure, and the surgeon understood this. After the procedure was finished, the patient began to bleed and was rushed to the hospital. After an 18 day stint in the hospital, the patient sued her surgeon, alleging he failed to anticipate her various post-op complications. The surgeon prevailed (defense verdict), but there are still lessons to be learned. Our podcast has the details.
