    wait a locohoco minute!

    you put a normal human being into a wheelchair! and he’s bound there for the rest of his life? who’s going to take care of him? granted he’s getting a good settlement – but this not small negligence this is major! small would be like leaving an instrument in the belly and you had to go back in and retrieve it. you made an extra cut into the patient. but to leave him into a wheelchair — that is gross negligence.

    Chuck, unless more people feel like you than they can rank it minor…..no one will speak up and get rid of these BAD
    doctors…..

    Lesson: If you need surgery, don’t have it done in Maine. They’re willing to license “negligent” doctors, just not “grossly negligent” doctors.

    It would be interesting to know where this guy received his medical degree and training.
