the surgeon removed a large portion of the man's skull intending to reattach it later during an emergency brain surgery after several weeks his brain had healed and was ready for the piece of his skull to be reattached but the hospital staff couldn't find it so instead they used a synthetic piece which later became infected requiring additional surgery and the hospital still charged him $119,000 for the synthetic peace now the man is suing the hospital for negligence seeking compensation for his suffering and medical expenses
