David Marsh settled a medical malpractice case on behalf of a 44-year-old man who had his prostate, bladder, colon and rectum removed in a 2012 surgical procedure at a Birmingham hospital – all based on faulty pathology. What the hospital pathologist read as carcinoma was actually tissue with the appearance typical of and consistent with the effect of earlier radiation. There was no malignancy and our client had his organs removed unnecessarily.
This catastrophic medical error caused incalculable damages. He has already suffered and is likely to continue to experience infections, abscesses and other painful complications for the rest of his life. By the time the case settled, our client had been in and out of the hospital 15 times since the pelvic exenteration. He lost his livelihood and his wife.
