Description

1 Kenneth Cronin and Brigitte Cronin (Plaintiffs) filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against Sierra Medical Center, El Paso Southwestern Cardiovascular Associates, P.A., Dr. Kenneth Eisenberg, Dr. Felice Bruno, Dr. Jerry Miller, and Dr. Joe Kidd (Defendants) after Mr. Cronin (Patient) experienced certain health complications arising out of heart bypass surgery. Plaintiffs, who reside in New Mexico, traveled to Texas so that Patient could undergo the surgery. Dr. Eisenberg performed the surgery at Sierra Medical Center (Hospital). The surgery was successful; however, Patient developed a staphylococcus aureus infection in his surgical wound. Dr. Eisenberg asked Dr. Bruno and Dr. Miller to help him treat the staph infection. Both doctors agreed to do so. Dr. Bruno performed mediastinal debridement and sternal rewiring, and Dr. Miller prescribed certain antibiotics. In the course of his antibiotic treatment, Patient experienced vertigo and loss of equilibrium.
