A physician at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital faces a $26 million 
medical malpractice verdict by a Luzerne County jury who found he 
mistreated a Newport Township man who had his right leg amputated 
above the knee.  

Edgar Vasquez, of Glen Lyon, went to General Hospital on Aug. 3, 
2018, for pain and discomfort in his right leg and right foot, 
according to the civil lawsuit filed by his attorneys with the the 
Ross Feller Casey LLP law firm in Philadelphia. Scott Vezina and 
Brian McCormick tried the case on his behalf.  

The lawsuit alleged Dr. Mark F. Schiowitz was negligent in his 
medical evaluation and failed to properly manage Vasquez´s vascular 
condition.
