In 2002, Ann Harrison-Evans was 52. She was active, independent, and pursuing a certification in hospital chaplaincy.
-
Ann was also the sole caretaker of her husband who had been previously diagnosed with a rare form of bone-marrow cancer.
-
Chronic knee pain led Ann to an orthopaedic surgeon who suggested and performed bilateral knee replacement surgery.
-
During the procedure, a surgeon cut an artery in Ann’s right leg. The ensuing complications were nearly ignored for days, Ann’s complaints regarded has overreactions to customary pain.
-
Ann’s situation worsened while her surgeon was on vacation. He left the day after her procedure and would not be back for days to check up on her status.
-
After years of additional surgeries and rehabilitation stints, Ann still suffers from the effects of her medical team’s negligence and still faces possible amputation.
Messa & Associates held Ann’s surgeons responsible for her years of pain, multiple surgeries, and suffering. Joe Messa fought hard to get Ann the justice she deserved and the care she so desperately needs.
