शल्यक्रियाका क्रममा हेल्चेक्र्याइँ गरेको ठहर गर्दै अमेरिकामा एक नेपाली विद्यार्थीलाई १११ मिलियन डलर (१३ अर्ब ७६ करोड ४० लाख रुपैयाँ) क्षतिपूर्ति दिनुपर्ने फैसला अदालतले गरेको छ।

सेन्ट क्लाउड मेडिकल सेन्टरले नेपाली विद्यार्थी अनुज थापाको शल्यक्रियाका क्रममा हेल्चेक्र्याइँ गरेको ठहर अदालतले गरेको हो।

सेन्ट क्लाउडका २ जना अर्थोपेडिक चिकित्सकहरुको लापरवाहीका कारण थापाको खुट्टामा स्थायी क्षति र अशक्तता भएको अदालतको ठहर छ। सन् २०१७ को जनवरीमा थापा सेन्ट क्लाउड स्टेट युनिभर्सिटीमा पहिलो वर्षको विद्यार्थी हुँदा फुटबल खेल्ने क्रममा घाइते भएका थिए।

A St. Cloud State University student has been awarded one of Minnesota’s largest medical malpractice settlements. A jury has given Anuj Thapa $111 million after he suffered “permanent” and “disabling” injuries after surgery from two St. Cloud Orthopedic doctors.

In January 2017, the freshman was hurt in a pickup soccer match at SCSU. Thapa, who was 19 at the time, was taken to St. Cloud Hospital, where St. Cloud Orthopedic’s Dr. Chad Holien was on call. According to the lawsuit, Holien recommended surgery which Thapa contested. The complaint says Holien performed surgery with Physician’s Assistant William Paschke. Thapa says he complained of severe pain but was discharged that night.

According to the complaint, he went back to the doctor six days later, complaining of severe leg pain. A different St. Cloud Orthopedics physician performed surgery and found Thapa had developed a muscle condition called acute compartment syndrome due to his first surgery. The condition is caused by pressure buildup from internal bleeding or swelling of tissues. Court records show he’s had more than 20 surgeries since then.

In a statement emailed to KNSI News, St. Cloud Orthopedics says, “We maintain the care provided in this case was in accordance with accepted standards of care. The case was about the alleged delay in diagnosing and treating a complication of the surgery that was performed. St. Cloud Orthopedics continues to support its providers. We are evaluating our options regarding this verdict.”

Thapa, a citizen of Nepal, was awarded $111,251,559.22. Specifically, he will receive $100 million for future “pain, disability, disfigurement, embarrassment and emotional distress,” $10 million for the same suffering in the past, and more than $1 million in past and future medical expenses.

Thapa, now 26, lives in Los Angeles.
