GIRL ASKS $50,000 DAMAGES FROM M.D. Miss Weiner Charges Dr. Wade With Professional Neglect.
Telling the court that she wants to bring suit for $50,000 damages against Dr. H. Albert Wade, who conducts a private hospital at 493 Greene ave., Miss Dorothy Weiner, 17, of 3403 Ave. I, yesterday asked Justice Gannon in Supreme Court through her attorney, Emil Klein, to appoint her father, Julius Klein, as her guardian at law.
Her petition states that as a result of the "negligence" of Dr. Wade in the performance of a surgical operation she was so severely injured that she has not yet recovered and has been compelled to spend large sums of money for other medical treatment and attention.
In August of last year Miss Weiner was operated on for appendicitis at Dr. Wade's sanitarium. It is claimed that the wound did not heal because of the manner in which the operation was performed. She again went under the knife at Dr. Wade's place and was there for treatment from time to time for about a year. Then, she stated, it was necessary for her to have a new operation performed in the Jewish Hospital, and she is now on the road to recovery.
