On March 24, 2022, WAGA-TV FOX 5 in Atlanta reported that a Hall County jury ruled Northeast Georgia Medical Center gynecologic oncologist Dr. Andrew Green committed medical malpractice in a case where his patient later died. The doctor and the medical center were ordered to pay $3 million to the victim’s family.
On the day of that report, the Georgia Court of Appeals threw out the jury’s decision, agreeing with the defense’s assertion that the patient’s estranged husband should have filed the lawsuit instead of what victim’s mother and children.
