Carter V. Macfadyen

On August 27, 1997, Bruce MacFadyen, M.D. performed surgery on Stephen Phillip Carter at Hermann Hospital to correct a blockage in his bile duct. Following surgery, Carter was placed in the intensive care unit. While there, his physical condition deteriorated, and eventually leaks in both his bile duct and duodenum were discovered. Abdominal sepsis and other problems resulted in Carter's hospitalization until November 1997.
