CG&P OBTAINS ANOTHER DISMISSAL OF A MEDICAL MALPRATICE AND WRONGFUL DEATH ACTION

In an action for medical malpractice and wrongful death, it was alleged that CG&P’s client, an anesthesiologist, was negligent during the performance of a colonoscopy when he allegedly failed to appreciate changes in the vital signs of the patient who sustained a perforation during the colonoscopy. The patient was discharged from the defendant endoscopy center by the defendant gastroenterologist who performed the procedure. The patient died from complications of the perforation the following day. CG&P moved for summary judgment on behalf of our doctor. Plaintiff’s counsel acknowledged that their expert could not refute the allegations of the CG&P expert and agreed to voluntarily discontinue the action against our client. The case was handled by CG&P of Counsel Richard M. Fedrow.
