When we are sick or personal injury happens, we put our faith into doctors who are supposed to diagnose the problem and treat it. But what if the same doctors we trust with our personal well-being are not to be trusted and instead lie in order to make a profit?
A Long Island woman filed a $10 million medical malpractice lawsuit against neurosurgeons, Thomas Milhorat and Paolo Bolognese, for giving her to “unnecessary and medically useless” operations that did not help her personal injury. The medical malpractice lawsuit claims the North Shore University Hospital doctors knowingly operated twice on 42-year-old Kristy Pirozzolo for a traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury she did not have.
This firm’s San Diego personal injury lawyers who handle medical malpractice lawsuits, we believe that doctors who fail to uphold the values and ethics that their profession entails has the possibility to cause medical negligence at your expense. Along with causing pain and suffering, medical malpractice can lead to you to needing help to pay the medical bills from other types of personal injury like spinal cord injuries (which could lead to paralysis) and traumatic brain injuries (like concussions or bleeding on the brain).
The lawsuit also says that Pirozzolo, who suffered from fainting spells as early as 2003, was told by the doctors that her fainting problems were caused by two conditions: a spinal cord injury where the spinal cord is improperly attached the spine, and that she also had Chiari malformation.
Her doctors gave her brain surgery 12 days later. Since that unnecessary operation, Pirozzolo has had constant pain and suffering from chronic back and head pain. As a result, she cannot work (lost of earnings) and has trouble moving her head due to the screws and rods doctors inserted to fuse her skull and spine.
Suppose you were told that your personal injury was something more than it was, and had numerous surgeries, only to find out the doctors lied about your condition. Now, you have all new injuries that cause lost wages and pain and suffering.
Our firm’s personal injury lawyers in San Diego believe that if you are misguided into thinking your personal injury is more extreme and as a result undergo unnecessary surgeries then you might have a case of medical malpractice on your hands.
