Knight v. Lawson – Delayed Diagnosis of Ureteric Injury
April 20, 2023
The trial judge considered all the evidence and determined that Dr. Lawson did not fall below the standard of care with respect to surgery. The trial accepted the physician’s evidence that she would have checked the ureters for injury during the procedure even though it was not documented in her operative report. Even if the ureters had not been inspected, the trial judge found that they would not have shown an injury at the time.
