Beverly Bryan is suing a Florida hospital and surgeon for wrongful death after her husband died from a botched surgery where his liver was mistakenly removed instead of his spleen. The lawsuit claims a cover-up by hospital officials.
Beverly Bryan is suing surgeon Thomas J. Shaknovsky and the Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast Hospital following the death of her husband, Bill. Bryan alleges that instead of removing her husband’s spleen during a laparoscopic surgery on August 21, Shaknovsky mistakenly removed his liver, leading to fatal complications.
