ATLANTA \u2013 December 8, 2020<\/strong> \u2013 Lloyd Bell of Bell Law Firm<\/a> today confirms the filing of a medical malpractice lawsuit in DeKalb County against Atlanta Brain and Spine Care and other defendants. The suit arises from surgical errors and failures to address post-surgery problems. According to the Complaint:<\/p>\n

On October 15, 2018, Pamela Hay \u2013 a 67-year-old Georgia resident with spinal pain \u2013 met with Dr. Roger Frankel, a neurosurgeon affiliated with Piedmont Hospitals. Dr. Frankel recommended surgery to remove a disc and insert an implant in Hay\u2019s spine.<\/p>\n

Dr. Frankel performed the surgery on Hay. During the procedure, Dr. Frankel and staff took seven x-ray images. The images showed that the implant was placed too close to the spinal cord. The images also showed that the screws used to hold the implant in place likely intruded into the spinal canal and the area where nerve roots leave the spinal cord. Based on the x-rays, Dr. Frankel should have repositioned the implant and screws. Had he done so, neurological injury likely could have been avoided. But he did not reposition the implant and screws.<\/p>\n

In the hours that followed the surgery, Hay reported tremendous pain and numbness as she recovered. The circumstances required Dr. Frankel to examine the x-rays immediately. Had he done so, he would have seen that the implant and screws needed to be repositioned, and he could have taken Hay to the OR immediately taken to reposition the cage and screws. But Dr. Frankel did none of this.<\/p>\n

Instead, Dr. Frankel wrote that his \u201cplan\u201d was that Pamela would \u201clikely\u201d improve \u201cspontaneously.\u201d A series of other doctors from Atlanta Brain and Spine Care noted that Pamela had difficulty walking and had numbness on the bottoms of her feet. But none investigated to learn that the cage and screws were misplaced and were impinging on Pamela\u2019s nerve roots and cauda equina. Dr. Frankel did not examine Hay again for the remainder of this hospitalization, which lasted another six days, until Dr. Frankel discharged Hay to a skilled nursing facility.<\/p>\n

By now using a walker and suffering chronic pain, Hay sought a second opinion on the surgery and follow-up treatment. Dr. Frankel eventually performed a second surgery months after the original surgery. Hay\u2019s pain and suffering continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cPamela Hay\u2019s surgery was botched by the doctor at Piedmont Hospital, leaving her with severe, life-changing limitations that persist today,\u201d states Lloyd Bell. \u201cIf Dr. Frankel had properly reviewed the images he ordered, he would\u2019ve seen the cage set too far back, and the screws set too deeply. But he and the other attending doctors charged with Pamela Hay\u2019s care ignored the warning signs, dismissed the red flags and allowed the grafted bone cage to set permanently in the wrong location for normal spine function. By filing suit today, we understand we cannot fix Pamela\u2019s spine or ease her pain. But it\u2019s our hope to move her life forward with the means to manage as best as possible her now permanent disability. We also hope that holding these physicians accountable for their actions will reduce the risk that other people will suffer like Pamela Hay has.\u201d<\/p>\n
