On March 24, 2022, WAGA-TV FOX 5 in Atlanta reported that a Hall County jury ruled Northeast Georgia Medical Center gynecologic oncologist Dr. Andrew Green committed medical malpractice in a case where his patient later died. The doctor and the medical center were ordered to pay $3 million to the victim’s family.
On the day of that report, the Georgia Court of Appeals threw out the jury’s decision, agreeing with the defense’s assertion that the patient’s estranged husband should have filed the lawsuit instead of what victim’s mother and children.

It’s well documented that the coronavirus can be life-threatening for the elderly and those whose immune systems are already impaired. As a result, nursing homes and other facilities frequented by the elderly must take extra precautions to minimize exposure to their residents and clients. The truth is, however, that these facilities face a number of challenges even without the current epidemic. Sadly, many nursing homes fail to keep their residents safe and do not provide the care that they promised. 
When you aren’t feeling well, you go to your doctor and trust that they will give you the appropriate diagnosis. Your diagnosis then determines the appropriate treatment so that you can make a full recovery. Unfortunately, doctors don’t always make the correct diagnosis. Misdiagnosis is one of the most common forms of medical malpractice. 
We place our health and our trust in the hands of our health care professionals, so it can be devastating when treatment does not go as planned.
