Summary
The family of John Michael Murdoch is suing Oregon Health and Science University for $900,000 after his face caught fire during a 2022 tracheostomy.
The lawsuit alleges staff failed to let isopropyl alcohol fully dry before using a sparking surgical tool, igniting a fire fueled by oxygen.
Murdoch, allegedly awake during the incident, suffered severe burns and lasting trauma before dying six months later from unrelated causes.
Meanwhile OHSU wants to expand and buy legacy to get ece larger and more difficult to manage? And also they don’t really have the money to do so?
Win, win, win!
