An Ohio couple, Sara Tschop and her husband Kenneth L. Tschop Jr., have filed a medical malpractice suit against Dr. Linda Savoy and University Physicians & Surgeons in Huntington, West Virginia.
Sara Tschop went to see Dr. Savoy on May 5th, 2008 with pain on her left side and back and nausea. Savoy and technicians at University Physicians & Surgeons administered a CT scan which revealed "bilateral non-obstructing renal calculi and mild left hydronephrosis". Tschop then had two follow-up appointments in May and June where Savoy prescribed a narcotic pain medication for the renal stone. Savoy also referred Tschop to an endocrinologist for further evaluation.
Tschop later saw a urologist and underwent multiple surgeries for the stone. In March 2009, almost seven months after her surgery, test results showed that her kidney was only functioning 6.6 percent. In May 2009, Tschop had to have her non-functioning kidney removed through a robotic laparoscopic left nephrectomy.
The Tschops argue that Savoy and her practice failed to properly treat and monitor her left kidney stone. In addition, they believe Savoy failed to refer Sara to a urologist in a timely manner.

A Mosinee man has been awarded $10 million in damages after suffering a great deal of pain following a hospital procedure. Larry Schultz, the injured man and former nuclear pharmacist, was awarded $5 million for his pain and suffering alone. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1988 and has been receiving treatments for it ever since. In 2006, he returned to St. Luke's Medical Center to have a drug injected into his spine in order to relieve spasticity caused by the disease.
Two drugs were injected that day, Baclofen and Reno-60, however, court documents revealed that Reno-60 is not meant to be used as an intrathecal injection, meaning it is not meant to be injected into the spine.
This crucial mistake lead to serious injuries for Schultz, leading to severe spasticity, seizures, and neurological damage. Shultz was forced to use a wheelchair as a result of the painful injuries.

Darlene Spears filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against Dr. Carl Beaudry after she was taken into surgery too early. Spears states that she was infected with a pathogen that could have caused her a great deal of harm. She claims that if Dr. Beaudry had waited for her to recover from the infection, her injuries that followed the surgery would not have occured.
She claims that Dr. Beaudry failed to obtain informed consent and did not properly diagnose her infection before preforming the surgery. The lawsuit did not include specifics on Spears' condition post-surgery, but does claim that she was not diagnosed properly before she was placed on antibotics.
She is seeking damages for medical expenses, disfigurement, pain, and mental anguish.

Judge Diane Joan Larsen of Illinois ruled that the 2005 Illinois medical malpractice reform bill is unconstituational. This ruling did not come as a shock, but will have an impact on malpractice law none-the-less. After taking a closer look at the 1997 Supreme Court decision in Best vs. Taylor Machine Works, Larsen could not supercede the Illinois Supreme Court. This is not to say that the decision has not caused any change.
Texas has seen many civil reforms, including limits on non-economic damages. This type of reform has led to increased job growth and economic benefits for the state.
As the constitutionality of medical malpractice reforms is questioned in many states, the Green Bay Medical Malpractice lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C. continue to provide quality legal counsel to victims of medical malpractice.

Orschell claims that the medical staff and doctor failed to properly diagnosis his wife's hypovolemic shock and did not treat her for it in a timely manner, resulting in her death.
