However, in some cases there can be a poor outcome without the presence of medical malpractice.  Take for instance the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/medical-malpractice-lawyer\/medical_malpractice\/\">Lake County medical malpractice lawsuit<\/a> of <em>Estate of Patricia Nickl v. Dr. Barry S. Rosen,<\/em> 08 L 1015, where the jury found in favor of the defendant doctor.<\/p>\n<p>The case of <em>Nickl<\/em> arose after the 64 year-old decedent, Patricia Nickl, died within days of undergoing surgery performed by the defendant, Dr. Rosen.  Nickl had a longstanding history of abdominal and gallbladder problems and had already undergone four major abdominal surgeries.  These prior surgeries were a significant piece of Nickl&#8217;s medical history because it increased the number of adhesions in her abdomen.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/medlineplus\/ency\/article\/001493.htm\">Adhesions<\/a> are bands of scar tissue that tend to form around surgical sites.  Because the adhesions bond together areas that weren&#8217;t previously joined, they tend to complicate surgeries and increase the risk for perforations, or holes.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the large number of adhesions in Nickl&#8217;s abdominal cavity, she was still eligible for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surgery.usc.edu\/divisions\/tumor\/pancreasdiseases\/web%20pages\/BILIARY%20SYSTEM\/laparoscopic%20chole.html\">laparoscopic cholecystectomy<\/a>, i.e., the surgical removal of her gallbladder.  The surgery itself was successful, but Nickl suffered from some post-operative complications.  She remained hospitalized for several days longer than anticipated because of persistent pain and a lack of bowel movement.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/medical-malpractice-lawyer\/illinois_jury_finds_in_favor_o_1\/#more-420\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people assume that whenever there is a negative medical outcome that it is the result of medical negligence.
