Madison County, NJ, jurors heard medical expert testimony from Dr. Aaron Chevinsky in the first day of the wrongful death suit against Dr. Jose
A. Diaz Jr. Diaz is being sued by plaintiff Russell Darbon, 44, in the death of his former wife, 43-year old
Virginia Gettys. The suit alleges Diaz failed to perform necessary tests on Gettys when
she was admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital in Highland in January 2004.
Gettys, who complained of abdominal pain two days after a colonoscopy,
died three days after being taken to the Highland emergency room.
An autopsy showed that Gettys died of sepsis stemming from a severe kidney infection. Expert Chevinsky testified that, although Gettys' symptoms had presented in an unusual way, there were enough signs pointing to the kidney infection to necessitate further tests before surgery.
