Doctor Found Not Negligent
Posted: November 5, 2009 at 6:10 a.m.
FAYETTEVILLE — An emergency room doctor was not negligent in her care of a man whose appendix burst during surgery, a Washington County Circuit Court jury determined.
Jeremy Antley went to the emergency room at Northwest Medical Center on Aug. 19, 2007, complaining of abdominal pain.
Dr. Faye Armstrong-Papp diagnosed Antley as having appendicitis and performed surgery.
The swollen and inflamed organ burst just as Armstrong-Papp was removing it, according to the lawsuit.
Armstrong-Papp’s attorney, Mark Dossett, told jurors Armstrong-Papp correctly diagnosed and treated Antley, removing the appendix and cleaning the wound thoroughly.
