Defendant Surgeon Deposition | Surgery Malpractice | $1.2 Million Verdict

This is the deposition of the defendant general surgeon in a medical malpractice case in Prince George's County. Miller and Zois, LLC filed this wrongful death lawsuit against this surgeon who specializes in weight loss surgery.
The Plaintiff was a woman in her mid-30’s who consulted with this doctor for removal of her gastric band after she developed indigestion. Gastric bands were popular weight loss devices in the early 2000’s but often caused complications, including gastric reflux.
This surgeon attempted to remove the gastric band laparoscopically using a camera placed inside of a tubular device called a trocar. The trocar has a blade at the end of it and it is used to go through the abdominal wall and enter the abdominal cavity, where all of organs are located, including the kidneys, stomach, spleen, and liver. The camera helps the surgeon see the different layers while he is cutting his way into the abdominal cavity.
As you can imagine, knowing where you are during this surgery is critical to preventing injury. While using the trocar, Dr. Amin lost his way. He couldn’t tell where he was in the patient’s body. He then pulled the camera out and put his finger in to feel around. Still not knowing where he was, he put the trocar in the abdominal wall “without the camera” and pressed down. To his surprise, the trocar popped through and hit the patient’s aorta, the main blood vessel in the body.
Just to put this in context: the aorta sits in the back of the abdominal cavity near the spine. In order to reach that location, the surgeon would need to pass all the other organs in the patient’s body. That only happens if you don’t know where you are and you are pressing too hard. As a result of the aortic injury, the Plaintiff nearly bled to death and had to spend weeks in the critical care unit.
Plaintiff tried this week long jury trial against this surgeon and his surgical practice Washington Surgical Specialists, LLC in Prince George’s County, Maryland. After hearing all the evidence, a jury returned a verdict for the Plaintiff in the amount of 1.2 million dollars.

    No doubt this surgeon effed up! I've done thousands of laparoscopic surgeries. Gallbladder removal, gastric sleeves, gastric bypass, lots of hernia repairs, ovaries, tubes, pelvic cyst, colon resections, the whole gamet for almost 20years and this doc screwed up no questions asked. You never stick sharp pointed trocars into the abdominal cavity without insuflating first! Residency 101 the reason you do that first is so that you can visibly see the other trocar/cannulas being introduced into the abdominal cavity! In 20years and 5000 laparoscopic surgery procedures I've never seen a aorta punctured that's worst case scenario. This lawyer 100% knew thoroughly this doc screwed up. Zero doubt. Impressive knowledge base by this attorney! Love being retired and getting to play Monday morning quarterback!👍

    No this comment is a Snapple fact! I'm actually a surgical nurse at a level 1 trauma & University center in VA, & I have & do work wit a lot of surgeons who are beasts at what they do I mean literally sometimes actually a lot of times I am amazed at some of the things I've helped them do & helped them save wit certain patients but just as u stated there are surgeons who even though they mean well they are just not cut out to really be operating on people! Just my humble opinion though bc I can remember a surgeon we used to have that I worked with a lot & he was actually a pediatric neuro surgeon...so basically he operated on children of all ages brains 👀 right. So he obviously was on the autism spectrum somewhere. He was very precised with somethings, but then with other stuff he would slack on but my uncomfortableness was the fact he would actually shake really bad with hands! Like he is an older gentleman so I don't think he always shook like that but maybe over the years he developed that trimbling thing. But there was no way he still should've been still operating not jus on children but any1 truthfully. So finally he had an outcome that wasn't so positive & finally it was someone's word other than myself & other nursing staff but something big on the record! U kind of felt a lil bad at first bc he lost his operating privileges. Which was a good thing in my opinion bc his mind was still sharp but his body just wasn't willing to function as it used to back in the gap but he was still or rather is still able to see patients in clinic & it prob would've still be ok if he jus sort of could just maybe assist in surgeries like as a guide but not physically touch the patients surgically...if u can understand what I mean but unfortunately it doesn't work like that it's either all or nothing 🤷🏾‍♂️

Have to eat only when I can go to sleep to escape the nausea (so, only at night), and am unable to absorb nutrients, now severely deficient in many important ones, aged nearly 70. Oh, forgot: Had to have gallbladder removed, appendix removed, implantation of an Intrathecal Morphine Pump, 17 yrs del morphine sulfate to my central nervous system. $ ran out (very expensive), pump battery died--am now in prolonged Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome for life. I will stop here, though that's not the end of the story.

What a terrible chain of events this patient endured to then to have ITP on top of everything else which is something you definitely don't want a patient to have when they've lost 3 liters of blood.

Maybe it would be okay in some type cases, but in medical, you don’t want to sound like you don’t care about what happened to the patient. I actually like the way this guy testified. He was matter of fact and clinical, but he is handling it like it happened, this is a high risk surgery and not everyone will perform these high risk surgeries and then people would be unable to get certain treatments, but high risk surges have a higher incident of complications. There was a complication, this is why, we handled it the best way possible, and this is the outcome. If he just had a bad outcome, I’d be on board with him, but he cut the aorta and he’s been sued 4-5 times in just 2 years, sooooo. But if he would have filibustered, it would have been worse for him. He actually could have been charged criminally with negligence like that nurse that gave a paralyzing agent instead of a sedative. It’s possible.

    @CrazyDealsandSteals apparently, none of relatives, have never been injuried by a doctor. Or perhaps you or no one in your family, has never been lied, to or misdiagnosed in any type of way. My comment to you, after questioning that is JUST KEEP LIVING! And hopefully you NOR your family ever have to endure what others, have with their love ones. Also, on the matter of consenting to a procedure or major surgery, yes its the patients rights. Yet, doctors also have an OATH of responsibility to know what other protocals are required just in case surgery goes wrong. So again just keep LIVING.

He never seems to be able to answer any questions about his so-called ministry and tells the questioning attorney to “Axe Michelle”. This may sound racist but he seems incapable in pronouncing the word “ask” and people on KZread mock him for it. Taylor’s deposition is very popular with fans of deposition videos. Forgot to add that Michelle seems to be his secretary and a member of his so-called board of directors, the vast majority of whom he cannot name.
