Nearly a year after he went to the emergency room with appendicitis and left with part of his colon removed, a Washington state man has filed a lawsuit against the hospital and two surgeons in a medical malpractice case that stunned his own attorney.

George Piano of Lake Forest Park filed suit last week against the University of Washington Medical Center Northwest and two of the hospital’s surgeons, whom attorney Edward Moore identified as attending physician Nidhi Udyavar and surgeon-in-training Paul Herman.
