The Faribault County Register reports that attorneys are seeking dismissal of a malpractice lawsuit filed by a Wisconsin man claiming that medical negligence during surgery left him permanently blind in one eye. The plaintiff's attorneys allege that improper use of a headrest left their client improperly positioned during an operation on his spine, and that movement of his head resulted in traumatic injury to his eye. But the defendants' attorneys counter that no clear linkage has been demonstrated between the use of the headrest and the ocular injury. According to the Faribault County Register, the presiding judge took the defendant's motion to dismiss under advisement. The trial is scheduled to take place in spring of 2009.
