Dozens of brand new medical malpractice lawsuits are pending against orthopedic surgeon Dr. Spyros Panos, as well as his former employer, Mid Hudson Medical Group, and two hospitals where Dr. Panos performed surgeries. In the 10 current lawsuits filed against him, Dr. Panos is accused of performing several fraudulent surgeries where he purposely did not treat – or improperly treated – the injuries of his patients.
Lawyers have apparently discussed filing around 100 more cases against Dr. Panos, but have been stalled by the lengthy process involved in researching medical malpractice. Panos has not responded to the accusations, and even changed his phone number to avoid contact with the press. Several lawyers have refused to represent him.
Sometimes, doctors make mistakes and must amend for them. However, when a doctor repeatedly and knowingly performs dangerous and fraudulent procedures on his patients, he needs to be held accountable to ensure he does not continue to endanger the lives of others.
