When you cut and paste the article from another source you might want to make sure you keep the flow of the article. Who the heck is Blakeman? There is no reference to him before or after his quote. I assue from the article that he is the attorney for the plaintiff, but it is normal journalistic style to introduce the characters of the story before they talk.
Sue for not being able to keep food down and became \”malnoursihed\”, isnt\’ that the point of the surgery? Maybe she should have tried to eat less now that her stomach was much smaller. No it cant be her fault and the doc is off the hook so the county sheriff\’s office should pay!
Douglas County error puts it on defense in malpractice case
OMAHA, Neb. Douglas County might have to pay a hefty price for an employee\’s failure to deliver.
The county finds itself as the defendant in a medical malpractice lawsuit because the original defendant — a surgeon — was never served papers.
Eugenia Kudym (COO-dim) of Omaha is seeking for 450-thousand dollars in damages. That\’s the amount her attorney said she could have recovered from her physician after she suffered complications from gastric bypass surgery in 2003.
A judge last year ruled that a server from the sheriff\’s department did not properly serve Kudym\’s doctor. Meanwhile, the statute of limitations for malpractice lapsed, eliminating the doctor from having to pay damages.
For the county to be held liable, Blakeman must prove malpractice occurred and that the county\’s error cost Kudym the opportunity to seek damages from the doctor.

I found this story on another website. It is the same article only half as big as this one.
As for her problem, there are definitely complications to this surgery (as any other) that I am sure she was made aware of beforehand. That being said, if the doctor should have advised her about the enzyme then he did do something wrong. Was the process server reprimanded in any way? How did they think they would get away with \”fake\” process serving, assuming that is what happened…
We were sure having fun with the obese workers\’ comp article last week, why are you dissing the IJ? Looks like she could buck the trend & lower the averages!!
If this were a needed organ transplant and the doctor didn’t prescribe rejection drugs that sure is malpractice, but if this were elective surgury for cosmetic (read “vanity”) reasons she should be thankful she was helped in the long run.

You said it, Troll; the editing of IJ is some of the worst I\’ve ever read. Sometimes I swear I\’m reading two different stories in the same article!
