Jury awards $24 million in Columbia malpractice case after pilot's death

A jury in Columbia has awarded $24 million to the estate of a 36-year-old father and decorated F-16 fighter pilot who died after complications from a heart procedure, according to legal fillings. The jury found a radiologist at fault for failing to identify an esophageal perforation on a CT angiogram, and found the radiologist grossly negligent. The estate alleged the scan was read as normal despite the patient’s symptoms continuing for about a month after an ablation for atrial fibrillation. He died 12 days after the scan from complications related to the perforation. The verdict followed a two-week trial that began Oct. 26. It included $14,645,390 in non-economic damages for wrongful death. The patient’s estate had previously settled with the cardiologist who performed the ablation for $1.2 million. The patient was a commercial pilot, husband and father of two young daughters, according to the lawsuit. Plaintiff’s attorneys were John Kassel, Theile McVey and Jamie Raie Rutskoski of Kassel McVey, and Thad Myers. Mark S. Barrow and Marshall C. Crane of Sweeny Wingate & Barrow represented the radiologist.

CHAPIN — A bombshell lawsuit from five women who were fired from their town positions by Chapin Mayor Bill Mitchell accuse the mayor of sex-based and race-based discrimination, harassment and intimidation.

This case is about more than five women. It is about...

Cases of this drug-resistant disease climb in SC. Here's the best defense

South Carolina has recorded more cases of shigellosis, a drug-resistant disease spread through contaminated food, water or sexual contact, than at this point last year. Health officials say the numbers have been dropping since a July peak and there is no cause for alarm. FULL STORY: Sexually transmitted, drug-resistant disease reported in SC. Latest case counts Here are key takeaways: The South Carolina Public Health Department reported 165 shigellosis cases so far this year, up from 135 during the same period in 2025. Most patients were adult men ages 18 to 49. “Currently, there are no outbreaks or reasons for the public to have increased concern,” a health department spokesperson said. Cases peaked in July and have declined since. Shigella spreads through contaminated food or water, close contact or sexual activity. The CDC says swallowing even a small amount of the germs, which are found in feces, can make someone sick. Symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps and fever, typically starting a day or two after exposure and lasting about a week. A person can remain infectious for up to two more weeks after symptoms end. Nationally, shigellosis causes an estimated 450,000 infections a year, with about 242,000 resistant to antibiotics
