Butler says the next day, a Sunday, he drove up to Forsyth County, met Barbara Revis and got to work. He found evidence that a doctor’s errors had nearly killed Robert Revis. If it hadn’t been for a nurse who saw what happened and rushed him to Northside Hospital, Robert Revis would have died.

The case went to trial in Fulton Superior Court in 1982, where the jury awarded Revis $4.7 million, says Butler. The verdict held up on appeal and moar of it was collected, he says. But that wasn’t the end of it.
