CHICAGO — A patient is suing The University of Chicago Medical Center, Lewis L. Shi M.D. and Jimmy Jiang M.D., alleging insufficient measures were taken to prevent injuries stemming from shoulder surgery.

Michelle Kusher filed a complaint on May 10 in Cook County Circuit Court against the defendants alleging they failed to provide proper medical care to the plaintiff.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that she sustained permanent nerve damage to her right hand and arm during surgery. The plaintiff holds The University of Chicago Medical Center and the two defendant doctors responsible because they allegedly negligently damaged her right arm during a shoulder surgery in May 2015.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against the defendants in an amount greater than $50,000. She is represented by Edward R. Moor of Moor Law Office P.C. in Chicago.
