Doctor's vision may be to blame in medical malpractice case

Posted on Wednesday, August 4th, 2010 at 2:31 pm    

According to health unit documents, a doctor’s cataract problem is part of the reason a patient was diagnosed with the wrong type of cancer resulting in a colostomy.

A colostomy is a surgical procedure that brings the large intestine through the wall of the abdomen causing stool to be collected in a bag outside of the body.

Three hospitals in the Windsor area are being investigated after this incident and another case where two women were given mistaken mastectomies. The presence of cataracts in the pathologist’s eyes has been said to be one of the reasons for these mistakes.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, contact the New Jersey medical malpractice lawyers of Levinson and Axelrod by calling 800-346-5529.
