Cancer Malpractice: Delay in Diagnosis Verdict

A jury awarded a cancer victim $1 million dollars against his internist for failing to diagnose cancer.  The 45 year old patient presented to his physician with complaints of rectal bleeding for three years without a formal workup being requested.  He was not given necessary tests or referred to appropriate specialists.  He suffered significant injuries as a result in this delay of diagnosis.  Attorney Ben Glass of Fairfax, Virginia tried the case for the patient.
