'Oh, Hold On, Just Had An Accident, Gotta Clean Up The Blood....'
-
A woman had surgery and it all went fine and she went home and she's recovered. The End. No, it's not the end, of course, or you wouldn't be reading about it. No, she's suing the surgeon, because he allegedly was taking a Spanish language competency test on his cell phone DURING the surgery. And she says she heard him mention diabetes and blurred vision and became distressed that he was experiencing that, although it turns out he wasn't and it was part of the test. Now, since he was able to perform the surgery -- varicose veins -- without a problem, you could say that this was no harm, no foul. But if YOUR surgeon was on the phone while cutting YOU open, you'd be concerned, even if it turned out fine. (Journal News, Rockland-Westchester)
