$20.5 million in a fat embolism case

Bad doctor, or a one in 47,000 event?

Anthony Youn
: “If the surgeon maxed out his malpractice insurance policy it will cover the first $1 million of it, leaving the remaining $19.5 million to come from everything else he (or the nurse) owns or will ever own (depending on state and national laws) . . .

. . . What I do know is that nothing will ever bring that 18 year old girl back, but massive awards like this can never be paid off during any doctor’s lifetime. This is a tragic case for all involved.”
