Operation on Wrong Disc Leads to Settlement (September 2000)

A young man from eastern North Carolina needed an operation to remove a ruptured disc in his spine at the C6-7 cervical level. The surgeon operated on the wrong disc and inexplicably removed a healthy disc and fused the bones at C7-T1, one level below the ruptured disc. Even after two more surgeries, the patient is still being treated for chronic neck pain. Shortly before trial, the surgeon's insurance company settled.

Awarded: $350,000
