Mr. Wager-Smith defended an endodontist who admitted that he had performed an apicoectomy on the patient’s wrong tooth. The patient alleged the surgery had been performed without anesthesia and resulted in the development of a complex regional pain syndrome in the orofacial region. The patient also alleged that she was totally disabled as a result of the chronic pain. The patient’s husband joined the suit, alleging his wife’s injury had caused the loss of sexual relations between them.
