Good afternoon all
Just wanted to post this case where a doctor was convicted of giving anesthesia improperly. Not much different than MJ except the victim was having surgery so I do believe that CM is not on trial just because it was MJ. The only thing different with MJ is he was a celebrity so just got more publicity. The victim in this case was an illegal immigrant. JMO
Dr. Roberto Bonilla of California Found Guilty in Patient Negligence Case Surrenders License
Roberto Bonilla, MD, a surgeon from Inglewood, Calif., has agreed to surrender his medical license after he was found guilty for his role in a patient's death, according to an LA Times report.
The Medical Board of California filed a complaint against Dr. Bonilla two year ago, accusing the physician of negligence and incompetence in performing gallbladder surgery on a patient. According to the complaint, in 2008 Dr. Bonilla performed the surgery in his office without an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist and delivered a fatal dose of lidocaine. Healthcare experts testified his choice of anesthetic lidocaine was an unusual one, as gallbladder surgery is traditionally performed with general anesthesia in a hospital, according to the report.
