Doctor fails to diagnose patient with cancer 66

Medical Malpractice is another area of San Diego Personal Injury Law

An Indiana surgeon who was on the run for over five years faces a negligence lawsuit claiming he caused the death of a woman in 2004 after failing to diagnose her with lung cancer. The suit claims the woman went to see the doctor in 2004 with a scratchy throat, received unnecessary surgery and delayed treatment, and died after lung cancer was not treated. The surgeon was captured in Italy in 2009 and faces more than 350 medical malpractice suits.  San Diego personal injury attorney Wire Report, Chicago Tribune  03/12/2011
