'Wrong Lung' Surgery Victim's Case Settled

April 02, 1995|Reuters

DALLAS — The family of a man who died of cancer after a surgeon removed his healthy right lung and left a tumor in his left one, settled a suit with the hospital for about $9 million.

The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram reported Saturday that the hospital, Osteopathic Medical Center of Texas, admitted no wrongdoing in the case but settled the wrongful-death lawsuit to avoid the uncertainties of a trial.
