The Houston Chronicle (7/2, Ackerman) reports that a Harris County, Texas, judge "ruled in favor of a Houston man in a medical malpractice case" on Tuesday, "awarding him $10 million in damages stemming from a lawsuit against Methodist Hospital and the doctors who treated him there." John German's left leg required amputation above the knee and he lost "all the toes on his right foot and all of his fingers in the aftermath of heart surgery in 2002."
