V.A. Fails to Communicate Dire Report of Lung Lesion on X-Ray – Veteran Has No Idea He Has Lung Cancer – Cancer Progresses Without His Knowledge – Death

Nov 25, 2017 | By Dempsey Kingsland Osteen | Read Time: < 1 minute | Case Results

A veteran has a routine chest x-ray. The radiologist warns of a suspicious lesion on the chest of the veteran. Despite this, the patient is never informed. Two years are allowed to pass without the patient knowing of the dangerous condition that could have been successfully treated. Instead, his cancer became inoperative and fatal. During litigation, our lovable client died. A satisfactory settlement was reached though with his heirs. A true tragedy.
