$4 Million Awarded Against Doctor

The family of a woman who died after a doctor failed to properly treat her for serious abdominal symptoms should receive $4 million in damages, a West Virginia jury has found. According to testimony, Dr. Anandhi Murthy failed to perform surgery to correct a life-threatening ischemic bowel condition and instead treated the patient with fluids and antibiotics. The jury's verdict is the second multi-million dollar award handed down against Murthy in less a year. Staff, Charleston Daily Mail 01/29/2008
