The opinions of the VA and Mayo Clinic in dispute on this lawsuit...BD
A Marine Corps veteran is suing the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Iowa City for $12 million for allegedly performing unnecessary open heart surgery on him almost 10 years ago.
According to the lawsuit, filed in January in U.S. District Court, Anthony Lank, 44, of Iowa City underwent an angiography in April 1999, and a month later had open-heart surgery. Seven years later, Lank met with cardiologists at the Mayo Clinic and learned from the doctors that his surgery was based on an inaccurate diagnosis of his heart condition and the surgery was unnecessary, according to the lawsuit.
