Following the procedure performed by Dr, John A. McKnight, the cutting balloon failed and could not be withdrawn from the arteries in Shroyer's heart.

As a result of the surgery, Shroyer has sustained pain, suffering and mental anguish, doctor, hospital and medical bills totaling $273.185.24; loss of services in the future totaling $75,000; future costs of medicine of $123,000; partial paralysis and damage to his left arm, hand and fingers, post surgery diabetes and loss of ability to enjoy life.

Henry's position was then filled by a substantially younger man.
