A former soldier has been awarded $1.6 million in a federal medical malpractice case against three doctors.

In 2007, 39-year-old former U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Edward Poche filed suit against the doctors, alleging that in 2005, they failed to provide proper care during his treatment.

The verdict, which was returned on April 3, found Dr. Raoul Joubran to be 60 percent liable and Dr. Mary MacGuire to be 40 percent liable. The third doctor involved in the case was found not to be liable.

The federal government also received an award of $380,000 from the jury as reimbursement for its medical expenses from Poche’s treatment.

MacGuire’s attorney says that he is considering filing an appeal.
