Doctor Who Operated on Wrong Side of Body Denies Mapractice

Friday, May 7, 2010

We have previously written about the Fredericksburg orthopedic surgeon who operated on the wrong body part, admitted as much in his medical records but who (through his insurance company) then said “I didn’t do anything at all wrong.”

Now his attorneys have filed an answer to the Complaint. They admit that the medical records accurately reflect what we said they did in the complaint, but, again, they say “the doctor didn’t do anything wrong.”

Here’s my question: is this frivolous or just “good defending”?
