Description
FOR PUBLICATION September 9, 1997 This is a medical malpractice action arising from treatment of a gunshot injury. Dr. Forrest Wright, the general surgeon who performed an emergency repair of plaintiff's lacerated intestine, properly stopped the hemorrhaging by ligating the severed external iliac artery that supplied most of the blood to plaintiff's right leg, but negligently failed to summon the on-call vascular surgeon to revascularize the limb upon completion of the intestinal repair. In this action, plaintiff asserted that the delay caused by Dr. Wright in completion of the revascularization procedure of the leg caused him to lose his leg or to lose the chance of saving his leg from amputation.
