A man claiming an eye surgeon’s inadvertent anesthesia injection caused him to go blind in one eye is appealing a Philadelphia jury’s verdict in favor of the doctor.

On March 24, Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Senior Judge Mary D. Colins issued an opinion in response to the plaintiff’s appeal in Chiodetti v. Fernandes. In that opinion, Colins wrote that Judge Gary DiVito’s decision denying plaintiff Gary Chiodetti’s request for judgment notwithstanding the verdict was sound.
