Cedar-Sinai Anesthesia Group - Bill Paxton

[Drangue]

The article says that the anesthesia group just gave them money? Are you not just admitting fault at that point?

Bill Paxton’s family reaches $1 million settlement with anesthesia firm over actor’s death

"General Anesthesia denied “liability in this matter,” the agency said the settlement would “reasonably compensate plaintiffs and avoid exposing defendant to an expensive and time consuming litigation” - So they are doing the family a favor?

"the operating surgeon used a “high risk and unconventional surgical approach with which he lacked experience and which was, based upon information and belief, beyond the scope of his privileges.”

"In addition, Khoynezhad was commonly referred to among the staff as "AK-47," the name of an assault weapon, the suit states."

There's another thread about this case. Yes the anesthesia group did the math and decided it was cheaper to throw a million bucks to extricate themselves from the lawsuit against the hospital and surgeon.
