OP Senior Member (100+ posts) Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 123 | I am wondering if anyone has had experience with malpractice cases. Everyone is telling me I should sue since Ken's death. A little background - Ken originally had a biopsy in Oct. 2009. It came back negative. They did another biopsy in Dec. 2010 and it came back positive. We originally were trying to get a 2nd opinion from Dana Farber in December 2010 but they were taking awhile to get back to Ken so he decided not to pursue it and stay with Mass General. Dana Farber had contacted MGH in the meantime and requested the original biopsy. They concluded there were markers on the original biopsy from Oct. 2009. I was not at the appt. where they told Ken about what they found out from Dana Farber but I do know they told him the head of Pathology was willing to talk to him (and he possibly may have told me they said he would apologize but I am not 100% sure on that). NOw that he has passed away his parents and mine think it would be good to talk to a lawyer. Obviously all we really want is for Ken to still be here but maybe it makes sense to help me to worry less about MOrgan's future? Just curious if anyone else had simliar experiences.
