Brain Damage Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Filed in Nevada October 12, 2010 Staff Writers Add Your CommentsA medical malpractice lawsuit has been filed against a Nevada hospital, which allegedly hired a nurse who was already under suspicion of stealing drugs. The lawsuit alleges that the negligence of that same nurse later led to a man suffering a heart attack and brain damage. The brain damage lawsuit was filed late last month by the family of Richard Chamoun, 36, against Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center in Nevada. The lawsuit charges the hospital with intentional misconduct and medical malpractice.Chamoun was admitted to the hospital on March 6 due to chest pains and underwent cardiac bypass surgery on March 10, but suffered two cardiac arrests on March 19, when he was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU), according to the lawsuit. While he was in ICU, Chamoun was placed under the care of Thomas Tackett, a registered nurse for the nightshift of March 20-21.Do You Know about…Spinal Cord Stimulator lawsuitsSpinal cord stimulator lawsuits are being investigated for individuals who suffered unnecessary shocks, burns or other problems, often resulting in the need for additional surgery to remove the SCS.Learn MoreSEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATIONDo You Know About…Spinal Cord Stimulator lawsuitsSpinal cord stimulator lawsuits are being investigated for individuals who suffered unnecessary shocks, burns or other problems, often resulting in the need for additional surgery to remove the SCS.Learn MoreSEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATIONThe lawsuit claims that Tackett and another nurse disconnected EKG leads that were monitoring Chamoun for 33 minutes while bathing him. Chamoun suffered another cardiac arrest and is now comatose and in a vegetative state as a result of the negligent treatment.According to the lawsuit, Tackett was hired by the hospital despite having a restricted license by the Ohio Board of Nursing due to suspicions that he stole drugs while working as a nurse in that state. Tackett was also on probation with the Nevada State Board of Nursing.An investigation by Nevada health officials found that Chamoun did not receive adequate care at Desert Springs and cited the hospital, which fired both nurses involved in the incident.
