Description
The appellant, Richard Leazer, filed a medical malpractice action against the defendant, Dr. Kiefer. The appellant was 27
years old when he required surgery to correct a herniated disk. After the surgery was performed, the appellant lost all feeling
in his lower extremities. Despite Dr. Kiefer's efforts to correct this problem, the appellant was left paralyzed. In his complaint,
the appellant alleged that Dr. Kiefer's negligence caused him to become a permanent paraplegic. The appellant's back problems have been caused by a series of on-the-job injuries at the Amalgamated Sugar Factory in Twin
Falls. Beginning in 1978, the appellant slipped on a wet floor and sprained his back. In 1980, the appellant fell approximately
8 feet from a rope onto the edge of a steel barrel. After the fall, the appellant complained of numbness and reduced movement
in his legs for approximately 24 hours. While doing inventory in 1983, a fellow employee fell on top of him from a ladder.
In 1984, he was lying on the floor helping pull a fellow employee out of a pit when his supervisor, who weighed 300-350 pounds,
stepped on his back.
