REAL RESULTS
Medical Malpractice: Neurosurgeon Ronald Bernstein, M.D., performed a right occipital craniotomy to remove a tumor (acoustic neuroma). With little brain surgery experience, the surgeon removed portions of healthy brain tissue, mostly cerebellar, instead of removing the tumor. The patient was left in a state of quadriplegia and died two months later. Confidential settlements reached with defendant surgeon, assistant surgeon and the hospital.
