: Illinois Medical Malpractice BlogClass Action Medical Malpractice Filed Regarding Stints
By Steven M. Levin and John J. Perconti
Medical malpractice attorneys have filed a class action lawsuit against a hospital after it informed more than 350 patients that they may have received unnecessary heart stents. The hospital had recently sent letters to the patients informing them that they may have received stents even though their arteries were not in fact clogged enough that they would need such a stent.
