Lawsuit for Unnecessary Operations

Two Long Island, New York doctors have been named in a medical malpractice lawsuit for performing unneeded spinal cord and brain operations on one of their patients. According to the lawsuit filed Monday, the doctors operated on the patient for conditions she did not have, leaving her in constant pain and unable to work. Both doctors named in the malpractice lawsuit have been disciplined in earlier this year.  One failed to appear for a surgery.  The other refused to stand-in in his colleague's absence.
