Case Study: Medical Negligence Mr. Anderson, a 45-year-old man with a history of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension, was admitted to Boston General for elective surgery to remove kidney stones. The surgical procedure was considered low to moderate risk. Postoperatively, Mr. Anderson complained of severe abdominal pain, nausea, and distension. The nursing staff noted a decrease in urine output and a gradual drop in blood pressure. Concerned about potential complications, they informed the surgical team. The surgical team, led by Dr. Gibbs, acknowledged the symptoms but attributed them to postoperative effects. Instead of conducting a thorough examination, he ordered pain medication and antiemetics. The nursing staff followed the orders, but Mr. Anderson’s condition continued to worsen. After several hours, Mr. Anderson lapsed into acute renal failure. The delay in recognizing and addressing the complications led to irreversible damage to his kidneys. Subsequent tests revealed that a surgical instrument had been inadvertently left inside the patient during the procedure, causing internal bleeding and infection. Mr. Anderson and his family allege medical negligence and sued Dr. Rodriguez and the surgical team. They argue that the failure to identify and address the postoperative complications in a timely manner, combined with the oversight
