Paige Horton was in tears as she told doctors after the procedure that she heard and felt surgeons operating on her throat before staff members discovered that tubing on her IV came loose and leaked the fluid that should have flowed into her veins, the lawsuit said.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A woman who had surgery at the Cleveland Clinic’s Medina Hospital to treat her thyroid cancer was awake for a portion of the procedure because doctors failed to properly administer her anesthesia, according to a lawsuit filed last week
The complaint, filed last week in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, accuses the massive hospital system, the lead anesthesiologist and registered nurse for Horton’s December 2022 procedure of negligence and failing to meet the standard of care that hospitals are required to provide their patients. The complaint, citing medical records contained in Horton’s patient chart, said that medical staff members noticed as they were performing the procedure that her heart rate and blood pressure began to rise. The staff then discovered the IV leak, administered more anesthesia and finished the procedure.
