Description
On October 17, 1973, Richards was admitted by Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque for surgical treatment of a gunshot wound in his left leg which was not healing properly. Dr. Weaver, in consultation with Dr. Boyd, performed surgery on the wound, after which he ordered the wound irrigated with an antibiotic solution of neomycin sulfate, Polymixin B, and Bacitracin. This was administered by a closed wound suction irrigation system during a three day period. Following this treatment, plaintiff suffered a severe and permanent loss of hearing in both ears, which eventually resulted in the termination of his employment as an Air Traffic Flight Control Specialist with the Federal Aviation Authority. The neomycin sulfate used in the irrigation solution had been manufactured by Upjohn.
