Virginia medical malpractice case with a patient, which was damaged by a wrong-site surgery has recently submitted.  Lexi Fincher, had a small mass on the back of his right shoulder, which caused her pain.  She went orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Office, Dr. Michael Snedden in the Central Virginia to see diagnosed the mass as a benign tumor, also known as Lipoma.  Surgery was planned to remove Center outpatient surgery for May 2008, to the extent of Fredericksburg.

What would have been a routine surgery, turned into a fiasco.  The nurses in Surgery Center prepared the patient's back shoulder surgery.  The problem started however after Mrs Fincher was under anesthesia.  Dr. Snedden examines the two sides of the shoulder and the Lipoma is not found.  After examination, he decided the MRI carried out previously, that the lump was the shoulder on the front, in spite of, that a radiologist had reported that the was Lipoma on back.

Dr. Snedden was tried on a research find the Lipoma.  He split unnecessary muscles and tissues.  In all, the investigation and decomposition of tissues and muscles, the Lipoma is not removed.

Mrs Fincher again Sneddens Office the next day.  If was removed the dressing, you could see even the Lipoma.  Dr. Snedden admitted to the mistake.  The surgeon medical malpractice insurance company but claimed that the surgeon wrong nothing have, not the patient attempt, the event rules.

While this could be a smaller medical malpractice case, Mrs Fincher wants to make a point.  You have to get up and responsibility to assume, if you make a mistake.

Here's my take - we have something and, that something is not for tort reform cry and refuse to valid claims.
