A Colorado man died during routine cataract surgery after his medical team allegedly silenced critical alarms while playing music bingo, according to a lawsuit filed by his widow.
In February 2023, 56-year-old Bart Reiter underwent cataract surgery at InSight Surgery Center in Lone Tree, Colorado. His wife, Chris, was told she could run an errand and would be contacted when the procedure was finished, Local 12 reported. However, when Dr. Carl Stark Johnson, Reiter's surgeon, met her in a parking lot near the hospital, he asked Chris if she believed in God and invited her to pray with him before telling her that her husband of 23 years had died.
