Doctor Impaired During Surgery, Lawsuit Says
Jurors began hearing arguments this week in a trial that claims a Missouri doctor was negligent in an incident that resulted in the removal of about a foot of a patient’s colon. In the medical malpractice lawsuit, the plaintiff claims that Dr. Michael Impey was under the influence of painkillers during the procedure. Impey’s medical license was later revoked after he repeatedly tested positive for the painkiller Oxycodone.
