While others have been settled out of court, yesterday marked the first
case to make it to trial.
The plaintiff, Pat Brunson of Floyd County, claims Dr. Korsh told him his
back was so badly hurt, that without spinal fusion surgery he'd be paralyzed.
Brunson says he was told he'd be 99-percent pain free, with full mobility
following the surgery.
But that was not the case, says Brunson.
He claims he's now hurting worse than ever, following surgery with the
pedicel screws.
