Edalene Anderson v. J. Patrick Hooker by Eighth District, El Paso Court of Civil Appeals of Texas Book Summary

This is a malpractice suit brought by the appellant against the appellee, asserting numerous counts of negligence in connection with surgery performed by the appellee on the appellant for removal of a cervical disc. It was alleged that the doctor-appellee should not have operated after he observed an X-ray picture showing no bone defect in appellants neck; operated on her until after heat treatments had been tried, and operated upon her without the administration of added amounts of traction; and it was asserted that the doctor should have run a myelogram test prior to the surgery and applied traction following surgery. Appellant-plaintiff also asserted that the defendant-doctor failed to keep a proper lookout for her safety during performance of the surgery; performed the surgery from the front of her neck instead of the back; removed one of her cervical discs without sufficient diagnostic findings; unnecessarily removed such disc; and failed to make a full disclosure to her prior to surgery of the risks, dangers and complications incident to, and that might be reasonably anticipated from, the surgery. In response to special issues the jury found against plaintiff-appellant on each of the above assertions of negligence, and it also found that there was no failure on the part of the doctor to exercise the care and skill usually conformed to by physicians and surgeons in the area which would constitute negligence; that the operation accomplished the purpose for which it was intended, and that no sum of money was due to be paid to the plaintiff-patient by the defendant-doctor. Based upon the verdict, a take-nothing judgment was entered. We affirm.
