A well-planned and well-executed demonstration of a surgical procedure by the defendant surgeon in a recent med mal case, assisted by his attorney, may have been a key factor in the jury’s verdict. The surgeon, Dr. J. Eduardo Corso, had been sued in DeKalb County State Court by the family of Arlene Bailey after Bailey’s death resulting from complications arising during a catheterization procedure performed by Dr. Corso. Larry Bailey et al. v. J. Eduardo Corso, MD et al. (12A45372).
