Patient sues Northwestern Memorial, doctors over surgical injuries

Medical malpractice 04

CHICAGO — A patient is suing Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Dr. Laurie Chalifoux, Dr. Nicole Higgins and other medical providers, citing alleged negligence.

Norah Morrison filed a complaint June 19 in Cook County Circuit Court, alleging, on July 16, 2013, she sustained permanent injuries, pain and suffering and loss of the enjoyment of life and incurred medical expenses as a result of the defendants' treatment, care and monitoring during a surgical procedure. 

Morrison said the defendants allegedly allowed the medical procedure to be performed by an inadequately trained individual and failed to properly supervise the procedure.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks damages and costs of the lawsuit. She is represented by Randall Peters of Randall F. Peters & Associates in Chicago.

Cook County Circuit Court case number 18-L-6335
