Patient Awarded $40.1 Million In Burned Heart Case

By Greg Webb

ADVERTISEMENTS

A Washington State Superior Court jury awarded $40.1 million, including $8.35 million in punitive damages, to Paramjit Singh who had to undergo a heart transplant because his was so badly damaged by a defective machine during an operation. The incident in question happened in October 2004, when Singh checked into Providence Everett Medical Center for cardiac bypass surgery. A monitor manufactured by Edwards Lifesciences Corp. malfunctioned causing a catheter to overheat and burn Singh's heart. Singh's lawyers also claim he now suffers other problems due to the faulty operation and anti-rejection drugs he must now take. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1110ap_heart_verdict.html
