Medical Malpractice (Anesthesia Error): Recovered for the estate of a married father of young twins who died as a result of medical negligence while undergoing a simple finger surgery at a rural hospital in the foothills of North Carolina. The anesthesiologist improperly administered the anesthetic (ropivacaine) causing cardio-respiratory arrest. The anesthesiologists failed to resuscitate our client, resulting in his death. Our firm retained several prominent anesthesiologists to testify regarding the malpractice. The case settled after a jury was selected.
