The Surgery That Should’ve Never Happened | The Tragic Case of Michael Skolnik
After fainting at home, 22 year old Michael Skolnik was told he needed to soon undergo brain surgery to save his life. But after a botched procedure, Michael would spend the next 32 months in a vegetative state before passing away. It was only after this medical error when his family would discover the big secret his neurosurgeon was holding. And because of this discovery, the Michael Skolnik Medical Transparency Act was soon created - highlighting the importance of medical transparency, informed consent and patient advocacy.
