Family sues oral surgeon after teen dies during procedure
Family of Erik Edge sues oral surgeon

Background: Liberty Oral and Facial Surgery in Spokane, Wash. (Google Maps). Inset: Sara and Erik Edge (provided by the Edge family).

The family of a teenager from Washington state who passed away while undergoing a standard wisdom tooth removal procedure has initiated legal action against both the oral surgeon who conducted the surgery and the clinic where it took place.

Mark and Sara Edge, the parents of 17-year-old Erik Edge, sued Dr. Mark McLelland on Dec. 9, six months after their son had a reaction to the general anesthesia he was administered that resulted in his airway being blocked. McLelland was allegedly acting as both surgeon and anesthesiologist and “failed to notice and properly respond,” according to the Edge family attorneys. The Edge family is claiming medical malpractice and negligence.
