Jury awards soldier, government $2M
April 10, 2009
A soldier formerly based in Casper had no choice but to sue three Casper doctors in federal court for medical malpractice that nearly killed him, he said Tuesday.
“First, it was for my family,” former U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Edward Poche, 39, said in an interview from his home in Byron, Ga. “I lost my career over what happened, and [the family] had to come first,” Poche said.
He and his wife, Cynthia, also wanted Wyoming residents to know they have the right to take action in similar cases, he said. “I survived; the next guy might not.” Poche’s attorney, Steven Shapiro, said he partly framed the case with a public perspective. “We told the jury, ‘Is this the kind of care you want in the state of Wyoming?’”
After a four-week trial ending Friday, the jury in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne awarded the Poches $1.6 million in damages — about half of what they were demanding — after finding Dr. Raoul Joubran 60 percent negligent and Dr. Mary MacGuire 40 percent negligent. The jury did not find Dr. James Anderson negligent.
