Senior Trial Partner Jacqueline D. Berger, Appellate Partner Barbara D. Goldberg, and Partner Kerona K. Samuels secured summary judgment in a case where the Plaintiff alleged, against multiple defendants, that they failed to properly treat, monitor, diagnose and care for a then 54-year-old married woman, causing severe and significant injury, including blindness. The claims as to MCB’s client ophthalmologists, who were consulted after the patient presented to an Emergency Department with complaints of a sudden development of obstruction of vision in her left visual field and blood in her stool, centered around a failure to timely suspect that ulcerative colitis was causing internal bleeding and ischemia to the optic nerves, a failure to properly and timely examine the patient, and a failure to treat the patient’s condition as an emergency. After bringing a summary judgment motion, dismissal was granted as to one of our client ophthalmologists involved during the admission at issue. The Court found that there were no issues of fact raised by plaintiff's expert regarding a departure from the standard of care, nor did this one ophthalmologist’s care and treatment result in any injury to the plaintiff.
