On October 4th, Alex Rodriguez filed a medical malpractice suit against New York Yankee team doctor Christopher Ahmad and New York Presbyterian hospital in Bronx State Supreme Court. The malpractice suit claims that doctor did not properly diagnose Rodriguez’s left hip injury during last year’s playoffs. The suit alleges-“After performing, understanding and analyzing the MRI, (Ahmad) had diagnosed Plaintiff as suffering from a superior tear at the left hip; and without informing the plaintiff of the diagnosis, knowingly cleared the Plaintiff to resume playing as a third baseman for the New York Yankees during the (2012) season playoffs, thus allowing the Plaintiff to further injure himself and the necessity for additional surgeries.”
