LITHOTRIPSY CAUSES SEVERE BURN TO WOMAN:
Plaintiff patient is a 50 year old woman with a history of hypertension, smoking, stroke , melanoma and cellulitis.
She presented to her surgeon for recurrent cancer which revealed a large kidney stone causing obstruction. On March 18, 2012 she was admitted to the hospital for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) which was complicated by a left flank burn and non-fracturing of the left kidney stone.
She alleges the surgeon left the room during the lithotripsy procedure and the technician continued the procedure. Later, the surgeon informed her that the machine malfunctioned, stating that the heat sensors were faulty.
QUESTION: Is this a case of malpractice against the physician surgeon ?
