Michigan Hospital Operates On Wrong Side Of Brain Causing Brain Damage & Wrongful Death
In unfortuante recent news, a Michigan medical malpractice lawsuit is being filed against Oakwood Hospital on behalf a 48 year old woman from Flat Rock, Michigan died shortly after having brain surgery. Her family alleges that the doctors at Oakwood hospital performed brain surgery on the wrong side of her head.
The woman arrived at the hospital on August 7, 2007 with a severe headache. Dr. Hasnain Haider-Shah found a leak inside her head and diagnosed her with an acute leak from an artery in her brain. The woman was rushed into emergency and surgery was performed immediately.
The suit claims that Dr. Hasnain Haider-Shah should have performed surgery on the left side of the brain but mistakenly performed surgery on her right side first, causing the woman to suffer severe brain damage.
Oakwood Hospital released a statement expressing their condolences and discussing their “Life Wings” program that requires every staff member to be properly trained so something like this never happens again. The suit has yet to be settled.
I am very sorry to hear about this medical malpractice and condolences go out to the family.
