Jeffrey M. Sheedy, D.O.<\/em>, 05 L-4862 (IL Cook County).  The plaintiff accused the defendant Dr. Sheedy of committing<a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/lawyer-attorney-1342715.html\"> surgical errors<\/a>, including severing his ulnar nerve during a tendon reattachment surgery, which resulted in Smola&#8217;s permanent complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).<\/p>\n<p>While at work as a maintenance mechanic for UPS, plaintiff James Smola tore his left distal biceps tendon.  Smola was referred to Dr. Sheedy, an orthopedic surgeon, who recommended a tendon reattachment procedure that was performed at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stjameshospital.org\/\">St. James Hospital &#8211; Olympia Fields<\/a> and was the subject of the present<a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/lawyer-attorney-1331861.html\"> Illinois medical malpractice lawsuit.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the Chicago jury trial, the plaintiff alleged that Dr. Sheedy had violated the medical standard of care when he severed the plaintiff&#8217;s ulnar artery during the tendon reattachment procedure, which led to his subsequent median nerve damage and CRPS.  Furthermore, plaintiff&#8217;s attorneys alleged that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/lawyer-attorney-1342715.html\">surgical errors<\/a> were in part due to Dr. Sheedy&#8217;s negligence in choosing not to properly protect the plaintiff\u2019s vital arteries during the biceps tendon repair.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/medical-malpractice-lawyer\/chicago_surgical_error_involvi\/#more-379\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Chicago medical malpractice lawsuit involving allegations of a botched surgery returned a verdict of $2,350,000 in Smola v.
