The Times-Union interviewed seven former patients of Dr. Richard David Heekin following lawsuits filed on behalf of 511 people who said Heekin made mistakes related to their surgeries and in some cases, their spouses.

Removal of hardware and conversion to left total hip replacement on Sept. 24, 2018.

In 2018, Lucinda fell and broke her left leg and doctors at Mayo Clinic inserted a rod into her leg, Bonk says. She was in a lot of pain and couldn’t walk without assistance. During the surgery, Heekin cracked Lucinda’s left femur, according to the lawsuit. Also during the surgery, the anesthesia machine wasn’t working properly and was not recording a “significant number” of Lucinda’s vitals, the lawsuit claims.

The cause of death for Lucinda listed on her death certificate: complications from a femur fracture, according to the lawsuit. “In that very first meeting that we had with him, we had a million questions because we had never met him before and at one point in it, he turned to Lucinda and he said, ‘Would you just shut up?’” Bonk told the Times-Union. “Both of us were startled and kind of handled it with kid gloves as he was telling us how great he was and where it was going to go from there.

Bonk said he was told his wife was essentially brain dead. But Lucinda had a do not resuscitate order. Lucinda was given her last rites.
