On July 6, TheGeorgiaVirtue published a story on a medical malpractice suit filed against Effingham Health System in Springfield, GA, as well as three physicians, and a handful of provider groups.
The 74-page filing is public record as it was filed with the Clerk of Court and the involved parties were served, however, TheGeorgiaVirtue opted to use the initials of the plaintiffs and to obscure faces from photographs due to the sensitive health matters detailed in the filing.
The article garnered considerable traction and generated an overwhelming dialogue, some of which included questions from readers.
A spokesperson for the family has since given express permission to TheGeorgiaVirtue to publish the full filing and, in the interest of transparency, the filing is included below.
