Case Details
George B. had stomach surgery in 1972 at a large New York City hospital. More than 20 years later, he experienced several episodes of fainting, and eventually his doctors discovered a 14-centimeter catheter lodged in his heart. Despite numerous unsuccessful attempts to remove the catheter, George was required to undergo an open-heart procedure to remove the catheter from his body. Since George never had a prior surgery other than the one in 1972, Chiariello &Chiariello sued the original hospital and doctors involved in the 1972 surgery.
Additional Notes
Even though more than 20 years had passed since the original malpractice, the jury awarded George B. and his wife a total verdict of $3.25 million.
