Surgeon perforated Mr. Palleiko’s esophagus during a difficult surgery and failed to detect the perforations before completing the surgery. An HCA Hospital failed to monitor his deteriorating condition in recovery. Mr. Palleiko developed gastric sepsis, suffered kidney failure, and ultimately passed away after numerous operations, over many months of pain and suffering by Mr. Palleiko and his family. The negligence claims included failure to recognize Mr. Palleiko was not an appropriate candidate for the operation, failure to convert to an open surgery, failure to respond to the patient’s deteriorating condition, and failure to diagnose and treat perforations in the esophagus. Rubin & Rubin forced the Hospital and their insurance company to settle before trial.
