Man Sues Hospital That Allegedly Forgot To Remove His Appendix During Appendectomy
There’s a good chance that if you go in for an appendectomy you’ll come out without an appendix. But William McCormack of Bronxville, NY says his appendix is still intact in spite of having gone in to the hospital for the procedure.
WCBS 880 spoke with McCormack’s attorney, Mitchell Baker. Mr. Baker told the news station, “We have an operative report from Lawrence Hospital saying that the appendix was removed. Most importantly, we have the pathology report from Lawrence Hospital after the first operation which says what was presented to the pathology department was not the appendix.”…
WCBS 880 found out what actually was removed from McCormack back in 2013. Baker told the station, “[The pathology report] said it was a three centimeter yellowish mass.
