A 42-year-old woman presented to the ED with right lower quadrant abdominal pain. A CT scan revealed “uncomplicated appendicitis”. A general surgeon was consulted and took her to the operating room for appendectomy. The surgeon elected to perform an open appendectomy. There was no explanation for why he chose this over a laparoscopic appendectomy.
I'm sorry but that grammar is terrible especially for a lawsuit. Board certification as a Physician Executive and in Medical Quality...what the hell is that and where is the relevance? Citein medscape for mortality figures? Christ. There could have been a real malpractice case here, depending on the actual situation, I am curious to know the full story.
Agree, this is a complete disaster of an expert opinion. I'd love to have the full medical records to review, unfortunately the attorney had no idea what they were doing and the records are not in the legal records anywhere. Bummer!

So basically the lawyer was lionel hutz and the expert was none other than Dr nick riviera
is this a joke? Did some middle school drop out write this?
Where did this case happen? This lawyer/doctor combo sounds egregious!
Don't forget his "Medical Quality" certification!
