In July, a longtime Floyd County physician was surprised by a lawsuit alleging she left a scalpel inside a patient following a C-section delivery more than 20 years ago. But Dr. Chandra Varia has stood her ground saying that is not true. When this suit happened, I knew they will dismiss the case because I was 100% sure. And that is exactly what has happened. Last week, Dr. Varia learned of the lawsuit's dismissal. She has since received a letter of apology from the attorney representing her former patient saying there never was a scalpel left inside his client and the suit should have never been filed. If somebody sued, I don't mind if I've done something wrong. But this was done without any reason. Dr. Varia wanted to talk publicly about the case to help get the word out about the suit's dismissal. So I want to clear my name and I want to help other physicians if I can. After 35 years of being an OB-GYN physician in Floyd County and delivering thousands of babies, Dr. Varia says this was her first lawsuit. And even though it has now been dismissed and an apology given, putting it behind her is not going to be easy. I used to run the free clinic many years back once a month. I buy some time medicine for patients from her own pocket when they cannot afford it. Now with this suit, I think twice before I do anything for the patient. I just feel bad about it. I lost trust in my own presence. That's not good. She says she will not file a countersuit for the false allegations. Dr. Varia says she just hopes it can save someone else from the same experience in the future. Next time, my request to everyone, please do your homework before you sue anybody.
