Gainesville-based Northeast Georgia Health System is accused of medical malpractice in a lawsuit involving a Gwinnett County woman who suffered amputations as part of her battle with flesh-eating bacteria. The lawsuit, filed in Gwinnett County State Court by Cindy Martinez and her husband, David, says that Cindy Martinez sought medical care at an Urgent Care center on Dacula Road in Gwinnett on May 24, 2015. The complaint alleges “that her vital signs and symptoms clearly revealed that she was suffering from a serious systemic infection and sepsis,” states a press release filed the couple’s lawyer, Render C. Freeman.
