Ed McMahon‘s always claimed that a neck injury is partly to blame for the financial woes that have hit him because he’s been unable to work to pay his bills.
Well, the old dog has finally been given some good news.
A judge has cleared the way for the former Tonight Show co-host to go after some allegedly negligent docs who misdiagnosed his neck injuriy.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that McMahon has legal grounds to go after Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and two doctors for negligence, elder abuse, battery, fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Ed filed suit in July and is seeking an unspecified amount for injuries he sustained after a fall last March at a Los Angeles socialite’s home.
We bet it’s a lot of money!!
The lawsuit says doctors at Cedars failed to perform an X-ray and determine that he had a broken neck when he was brought into the emergency room.
Ed also claims that a doctor at the hospital’s spinal-care center improperly performed two surgeries.
It’s a good lesson for us all.
Doctors aren’t always right.
Scary!!
