A man is suing Atlanta’s Emory Hospital after they lost a piece of his skull during brain surgery. Back in September 2022, Fernando Cluster was operated on for a brain bleed. A portion of his skull about the size of a saucer was removed to relieve pressure. When the time came to replace the bone, the hospital couldn’t find it. On top of that, he was charged nearly $150,000 for medical expenses directly related to the hospital’s error – including $19,000 for the synthetic skull implant that was used when his own bone was lost. Cluster is now suing Emory over the extra medical expenses, in addition to the emotional pain and suffering caused by the incident.
* How much pain and suffering? He flipped his lid!
* Cluster insists that heads will roll.
* Did they check the cafeteria? If it looked like a saucer, maybe it got mixed in with the lunch tray during surgery.
* He must be out of his head with worry.
