The first available complaint against Dr. Vaught listed the following allegations:
Failing to properly perform a medical procedure. During a cesarean section performed by the defendant doctor, the plaintiff alleged that several sutures were administered to close her abdominal incisions. She soon developed severe back pain and had difficulty urinating. Imaging revealed blockage of the left ureter, which is the tube that delivers urine from the kidney to the bladder. The plaintiff underwent surgery to remove the obstruction. During the procedure, it was discovered that the defendant doctor had erroneously placed a stich across her left ureter, which created the blockage.
Failing to prevent patient injury. The plaintiff contended that due to the defendant doctor’s medical error, she suffered from severe complications including infection, pain, and dizziness. Several inpatient hospital stays were necessary to treat these conditions. As a result of the multiple surgeries and medications required to correct her ureter blockage and the related medical issues, she alleged permanent medical injury and emotional distress.
