Milwaukee, WI ---August 31,
2023 – In what is emerging as a deeply distressing case of alleged medical
negligence, Nestor Vega, a 45-year-old car accident survivor, has filed a
lawsuit against the reputed Froedtert Hospital, following severe and permanent
complications arising from a retained surgical fragment.
On July 24, 2020, after being involved
in a motor vehicle collision, Vega turned to Froedtert for medical evaluation
and treatment. He was diagnosed with a closed right pilon fracture, leading to
multiple surgical interventions. Tragically, post-surgery, Vega’s condition
began to deteriorate, marked by debilitating pain that severely restricted his
daily activities. X-rays performed on Sept. 14, 2020 and a subsequent review of
the x-rays on November 9, 2020, exposed the root of Vega’s suffering – a
fragment of a surgical drain had been left within the surgical site.

Despite having undeniable evidence from
the x-ray and acknowledgment from Dr. Beck, immediate remedy was not pursued.
Accusations are currently circulating with significant momentum, suggesting
that medical personnel, including Dr. Beck and other key personnel, might have
not only neglected their duty of care but may also have fraudulently concealed
the existence of the surgical fragment. This suspicion was further fueled when
a medical staff member misinformed Vega, assuring him that his leg was clear of
foreign objects.
By December 13, 2020, Vega was
re-admitted to the hospital due to an infection directly attributed to the
retained fragment. The fragment was removed on December 15, 2020 however,
Vega's ordeal did not conclude with this procedure. As a direct consequence of
the alleged medical negligence, Vega now suffers from permanent disfigurement
and requires full-time medical assistance, having lost the ability to perform
even the most mundane tasks independently.

To seek justice and redress, Vega has
enlisted the services of high-profile attorney, B'Ivory LaMarr, who is now
leading the legal action against Froedtert Hospital and the implicated medical
professionals.

health, emotional well-being, and overall livelihood cannot be overstated. We
intend to fight relentlessly to ensure that justice is served. Medical
negligence should never be tolerated, and we are committed to holding the
responsible parties accountable for their actions,” said Attorney LaMarr.

underscores the importance of robust oversight, accountability, and
transparency in the medical field. Patients deserve to trust in the care they

WISN 12 NEWS Nestor Vega Press Conference Full Coverage
In an effort to track his family history the author has skillfully layered the foundation of his roots. Julius Faucette searches for a workable meaning to his life through his ancestor's choices of color. Faucette takes the reader back to the 1700's through research and intimate conversations with one of the oldest members in the family. Eugene Pinnix, who lived to be 104, speaks to the readers through Julius Faucette. 
Fluidly, calmly, insightfully, Faucette guides his readers straight to the intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class and race. The Saga of Madison Brown "A Choice of Color" is a story of race, inheritance and color choices. Not often does one hear of someone of German ancestry passing for black. Through his research, Faucette reveals how individuals in the Madison Brown family were able to make color choices, which ultimately resulted in life changes.
Faucette cleverly shifts between information obtained through general research and his on-going interviews with Eugene Pinnix. By combining both, he is able to educate and entertain his readers. The author deciphers a historic unknown by matching it with known facts obtained through his cousin Eugene. And the contrast between those born in slavery and those born to freedmen is powerful. This historical pictorial will draw readers in.
As the Madison Brown history unfolds, each generation passes down to the next that thirst to make color choices. The struggles of each play out in this candid historical review. In this irresistible story, Faucette resists the urge to paint with a broad brush that will stereotype the races. He utilizes the information obtained from not only his dear cousin, but also documents from local courthouses, state records, etc., to present a complete family picture.
This first edition will take the reader back several generations and the result is that
most will yearn to know their family origins.
