University of Iowa Health Care is paying a total of $3.5 million to settle two malpractice lawsuits — including one involving a 63-year-old Dubuque man who died in the operating room during a surgery to repair his broken leg. Jeffrey Spahn went into cardiac arrest and could not be resuscitated,” according to a settlement the State Appeal Board approved Monday to pay Jeffrey Spahn’s family $1.5 million. A second malpractice settlement approved Monday will pay a 60-year-old Argyle woman $2 million after medication from her anesthesia IV leaked into surrounding tissue during a plastic surgery procedure in January 2021.
