CHICAGO — A patient who had a heart attack after surgery claims he was taken off anticoagulant medicine too far in advance of the surgery and was improperly cleared for the procedure.

Terry Good filed a complaint on Sept. 30, in Cook County Circuit Court against NorthShore University Healthsystem Glenbrook Hospital; two physicians, identified as Dr. Thomas A. Mayer and Dr. David Jeremy Davidson; and the NorthShore Medical Group, alleging medical negligence.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that he suffered a heart attack as a result of the defendants' actions. He holds the defendants responsible because they allegedly failed to properly evaluate his condition prior to the procedure and cleared him for surgery.

The plaintiff seeks judgment against the defendants in an amount greater than $50,000 plus court costs. He is represented by Edward M. Rubin of Rubin Machado & Rosenblum, Ltd. in Chicago.
