Marc Breakstone discusses problems with spine surgery in Boston.
Finding that over 11 spinal fusion surgeries were carried through in the wrong area of the spine since 2006, a Boston Globe study has identified the spine as the area of the body most often involved in hospital mistakes. Boston medical malpractice attorney Marc Breakstone, who is presently representing a client that experienced one of these problematic spinal operations, emphasizes that although there are many explanations for why spine surgery is subject to so many errors, the number of mistakes since 2006 is indefensible. For the full story see “But it’s still inexcusable; it shouldn’t happen.” Boston Globe, July 30, 2008.
Marc Breakstone criticizes handling of evidence in ventilator case.
Immediately following the death of a fifteen-year-old boy with cerebral palsy who died when his ventilator stopped working during a power outage, police sent the ventilator back to its manufacturer. As attorney Marc Breakstone emphasizes, this is problematic because it has prevented the boy?s family from retaining the ventilator, a vital piece of evidence in this case, putting them in desperate need of a legal representative.
