Patient Sues After Doctors Never Show to Operate on Her
MINEOLA,
N.Y. — A patient who was under anesthesia when a brain surgeon refused
to step in for a no-show colleague is suing both doctors as well as the
New York hospital.
Jennifer
Ronca of Tunkhannock, Pa., sued Thursday in state court in Mineola. The
suit seeks unspecified damages against the surgeons and North Shore
University Hospital-Long Island Jewish Medical Center.
She is claiming "carelessness and negligence" after the surgery had to be postponed.
Attorney
Anthony M. Sola speaks for the hospital and the doctors, Paolo
Bolognese and Thomas Milhorat. He says that the delay didn't injure the
woman and that she later had successful surgery.
The state has filed 14 citations against the hospital.
