Last week a jury in Judge Christopher Collier's courtroom found in favor of Medina chiropractor, Dr. Bruno C. Rossi and his employer, Medina Centerpointe Chiropractic, Inc. Mr. William Clink of Runsen Road in Medina had alleged that Dr. Rossi had negligently treated him for a back problem. He further alleged that the corporation was liable because at the time he was treated Dr. Rossi was employed by the corporation. His wife, Dorothy, joined in the lawsuit claiming that because of Dr. Rossi's negligence she had suffered a loss of consortium.
Originally the lawsuit had been assigned to Judge Kimbler. Judge Kimbler removed himself because a member of his staff used to work for Dr. Rossi. The case was then transferred to Judge Collier, who also removed himself. The Ohio Supreme Court then assigned Judge Robert Brown from the Wayne County Common Pleas Court to hear the case.
This trial was the second trial in a malpractice case in less than a month to return a verdict for the doctor being sued.

Medina Doctor Wins Malpractice Jury Trial
A jury in Judge Collier's court returned a verdict in favor of Gregory L. Arko, D.O., of Medina in a malpractice lawsuit filed by Jackie Napier of Sullivan, Ohio and his wife JoAnn.
In his complaint Mr. Napier alleged that Dr. Arko misread an x-ray of his lungs by "failing to note a lingular mass in Plaintiff's lower left lung lobe" and by mislabeling the x-ray as "normal." He further alleged that as a result of this alleged negligence he suffered a "late diagnosis of cancer, severe pain, invasive surgery, chemotherapy with devastating side effects, medical expenses, lost wages, and has a 70% chance of cancer re-occurrence within five years." Mrs. Napier alleged that as a result of the alleged misreading of the x-ray, she sustained the loss of the services and affection of her husband. Dr. Arko denied these allegations.
The jury heard several days of testimony and returned but returned the verdict in favor of Dr. Akro after a relatively short period of deliberation.
