A qualified and experienced surgeon from South Dakota, Dr. Scott Baker faced legal action from his former patient Day Knapp. It turned out that during the surgery to remove the adrenal gland, the surgeon instead removed a patient’s healthy pack. The operation required the woman, who is in the third stage kidney disease, in 2016. By the time she felt relatively well, however, after a kidney removal dena was faced with depression and chronic fatigue. The woman took me two years to decide to sue over medical errors, which the surgeon immediately responded.
However, he acknowledged that “wrong number”, but stressed that the error was “fully conforms to the standards of medical care in the United States.” In addition, in a joint statement, Dr. Baker and the Surgical Institute of South Dakota, where he works, stating that the patient is “unlikely to suffering from the consequences of medical errors”.
