| 10/26/2000 | This was a medical medical malpractice case. This was a wrongful death case involving a twelve-year-old child and the failure to timely diagnose a nasopharyngeal tumor in 1994 and 1995. By the time of the diagnosis, the cancer was Stage IV. Defendant Bernstein was the family practice doctor who was responsible for the referrals to specialists. John James, D.O., admitted prior to trial that he misread a CT scan in March of 1995, which showed the mass. Steven Locnikar, D.O., admitted he did not try to determine the underlying cause of the child's symptoms and did not use a scope to view the nasopharyngeal space. Had he done so, it was undisputed that he would have seen the tumor. Defendant Bernstein claimed he relied on the specialists. Plaintiff alleged that Defendant Bernstein failed to, among other things, provide sufficient information to the specialists and follow up after the referrals because of the symptoms of his patient were unexplained. | Plaintiff's verdict for $1 million |
