We all see the Doctor now and then,...ever need surgery? Well just hope the good Doctor can finish what he started. Now I understand some of our posters may be Doctors and they can attest to the neccesity of time management,...but this is rediculous!...

Man Sues Doctor Who Left Surgery to Cash Check
Thu Dec 5,11:33 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!



BOSTON (Reuters) - A Massachusetts man filed a malpractice lawsuit on Wednesday against the doctor who left him on the operating table midway through spinal surgery to cash a check at a nearby bank.



Charles Algeri said he suffers severe pain in his right leg after orthopedic surgeon David Arndt left him for 35 minutes with an open incision in his back during a spinal fusion procedure at a Boston-area hospital. Algeri's lawyer filed the lawsuit in Suffolk County Superior Court in Boston.


Arndt, whose license to practice medicine was suspended by the state medical board, has acknowledged that he temporarily abandoned Algeri in the operating room during the July 10 operation at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts.


The doctor admitted to a medical board investigator that he had "exercised remarkably horrible judgment" during the surgery, according to a board report released in August.


Arndt explained to the investigator he had been waiting for his paycheck because he had to pay some overdue bills, and had been hoping to finish the surgery before his bank closed for the day.


The procedure took longer than he expected, however, and Arndt decided to make a break for the bank midway through surgery.


Algeri, a Waltham, Massachusetts, resident, opted for the surgery to relieve pain he had been feeling in his left leg and left lower back.


"All of his problems were on his left side. Now he has problems on both sides but much worse on the right side," said Algeri's lawyer, Marc Breakstone.


Algeri is seeking unspecified damages from Arndt, claiming the pain is a result of the doctor's negligence. Breakstone noted that the doctor has $5 million in insurance coverage that could apply to the case.


"He's got $5 million in coverage and the case is worth at least that much," the lawyer told Reuters.


Arndt's lawyer was not immediately available for comment.

B-Bob, either you are a professional comedian or you are an idiot because you have not changed jobs yet.

Anyway, I've had surgery about 20 times already and I can tell you it's NOT pleasant.

No Bob...no Governor Perry. I have never had ANY kind of surgery. I've been too busy running the Dallas Cowboys.


:D

EDIT....well that didn't work and I don't know why. It was a pic of Jerry Jones standing with Rick Perry and Bob McNair.

Well, I'm not a comedian, that's for sure. So I guess I'll go with idiot. :D And if I keep posting ... I may indeed have a career change.

My students never laugh at my jokes. Well, there will be, say, one nerdy kid in the third row who will laugh, and then the other 70 students will look at him and roll their eyes. Imagine it.

(I just tried to create a classroom of rolling eyes, but there's a function that prohibits too many stupid faces. This is a good thing.)

oh, and edit: Sir JC, hope your surgery days are all behind you.
