Why won't the TSBME go After Dr. Todd? Answer: He's a political giant at Columbia HCA Arlinton Medical Center
As of July 14, 2003
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASES in Tarrant County: Frederick Todd II, M.D.
342-160628-95 David Case filed 8/31/95. (Judgment against Todd)

Apparently identified a cervical fracture in a vehicular patient but she became worst after he attempted to perform traction and surgery.
342-159699-95 David Watts filed 7/17/95 (Judgment against Todd)
Apparently, Dr. Todd left a needle in this patient’s back following surgery and never went back to remove it.
048-187168-01 Robert Chelette filed 4/11/01 (Settled against Todd)
The patient apparently had an accident with a blood clot in his head. His surgery was apparently delayed. Because of the delay, the patient now has permanent brain damage.

Apparently, the patient had a decompression and fusion after undergoing a questionable discogram. The young patient was fused at L5-S1 for apparently questionable results in light of relatively normal radiographic findings and minimal clinical symptoms.
