Couple says Presence St. Joseph didn't properly perform shoulder surgery on man

Medical malpractice 05

CHICAGO — A husband and wife are suing Presence St. Joseph Hospital in Elgin and associated medical care providers, citing alleged loss of consortium, negligence and vicarious liability.

Mark and Christina Rounds filed a complaint July 18 in Cook County Circuit Court, alleging Mark Rounds suffered permanent injuries on Oct. 12, 2017, including the loss of society, companionship and consortium with his wife, as a result of the alleged negligence of the defendants in performing a right shoulder arthroscopy and an open right rotator cuff repair on him. 

The plaintiffs said the defendants should be held responsible because they allegedly failed to identify a transacted axillary artery and failed to accurately diagnose and treat Rounds post-operatively.

The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and seek a judgment in an amount greater than $50,000. They are represented by Sean Driscoll of Clifford Law Offices PC in Chicago.

Cook County Circuit Court case number 18-L-7347
