Florida has a med mal cap on damages: She'll get a whopping $500,000.00

It looks like the 2023 law that set the cap is just on non-economic damages and might not even hold up in court. The Florida SC evidently ruled that caps were inconsistently enforced and not valid back in 2017.

She might get a decent bit more for economic damages, but you're right really. In the end, instead of getting slapped with a 100 million suit, Ascension will shrug off the loss and not give a shite. That same doc probably makes them several million a year.

This thread de-livers.

When someone botches a surgery this badly, the video evidence should be made public. There was likely a series of failures that led to this terrible outcome.

You can get something called “wandering spleen” where you spleen moves around your abdomen. Even with that a spleen should look vastly different than a liver.

Do WHAT???

Not on my watch.

I’d go all Ricky Ricardo on mine if it tried to pull that.

You got some ‘spleenin to do!

Sounds like another "Dr Death" scenario

Right, and in Texas, the Med Mal damage Cap is 250k.

Seems like they should have capped attorney fees, not actual damages...
