P. v. Anonymous (Urologist) April 2009

Plaintiff was under care of urologist for several years, during which "PSA levels" (possible prostate cancer) were followed. Though seen at regular, four month intervals, he developed a condition of severe urinary retention and bladder distension, not diagnosed by his urologist. Delay in diagnosis, we alleged, caused development of dysfunctional bladder, and need to self-catheterize to urinate. Partial liability was sought from gastroenterologist (and settlement contribution obtained) due to his, later, failure to respond to abnormal lab results. Case was settled shortly prior to Jury Selection. Experts were retained from urology, gastroenterology and nephrology/kidney disease.

$1.8 Million settlement.
