A medical malpractice lawsuit ended in victory for it’s California plaintiff. In 2007, Ana Jimenez-Salgado, received the news that cells obtained from a biopsy of breast tissue were cancerous, leading her medical providers at a Los Angeles county hospital to perform a double mastectomy. But when she later went to undergo reconstructive surgery, the hospital pathologists examined the remaining tissue and determined she never had cancer.
She filed a lawsuit and was awarded $198,000 for a grave misdiagnosis. Negligence befell the hospital when they failed to closely examine outside pathology reports, or even perform their own tests to ensure the presence of cancerous cells. And as if removing the woman’s natural breasts for no reason wasn’t enough, they negligently performed the reconstructive surgery.

However, because of her mother’s condition, and because of Cassie’s size, which the doctors failed to consider, Cassie’s head became stuck.

In fact, some hip replacement surgeons have argued that hip implant and joint replacement surgery is one of the most important surgical advances over the last century. Because of its popularity, and potential profitability, hip manufacturers such as DePuy, Johnson & Johnson, Zimmer, and others have been competing to capture this potentially lucrative market. Unfortunately, as has been suggested with DePuy, sometimes manufacturers are in such a rush to roll out a “new and improved” implant device, they fail to properly test whether the hip, knee, or other joint implant is better than those that already existed on the market.
