Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice verdict for a man who suffered a paralyzing anoxic brain injury during a routine 10-minute surgical procedure to remove a fish bone from his throat. The anesthesiologist (Dr. Georgia Bode) changed the plan to general anesthesia, paralyzed and intubated Mr. Leon. The medical team failed to intubate him, limiting oxygen to his brain for 45 minutes. Dr. Bode did not have the drug to end paralysis. She then paralyzed him again when the first drug wore off, causing oxygen levels to plummet and significant brain damage. An emergency tracheostomy was performed, but damage was done. Mr. Leon was left wheelchair-bound and bedbound with a traumatic brain injury. Dr. Bode would not admit liability, leading to a jury trial.
