SAN FRANCISCO – A patient alleges that she was prevented from attending her usual occupation because of the negligence of a physician and health care facility.

Natosha Delucce filed a complaint on March 16 in the San Francisco County Superior Court against Igor Immerman MD, UCSF Medical Center and Does 1-30 alleging medical malpractice.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Dec. 19, 2016, the defendants delayed, failed or were negligent in providing her proper care regarding a trigger thumb release surgery.
