A suit has been filed against the University of Maryland Medical Center on behalf of a man who died after a surgery. The man underwent a lung transplant at the hospital in June 2008 and died shortly thereafter.
The law suit filed by the man's family alleges that a subcontractor removed a clamp after the surgery, allowing all the man's blood to drain from his body. The identity of the subcontractor is not known and could be any of three possibilities.
