Overadiation Kills Woman

Posted on January 14th, 2010 5 Comments

A 60-year-old woman was overadiated 17 times and which caused the perforation of her bowel and her death.

In 2003, the woman was diagnosed with stage-three endometrial cancer and began raditation right after. The first 11 treatments went fine. Then the woman was overadiated 17 times. She received 270 centigrays instead of 180 centigrays. Her husband sued for medical negligence and he claimed that the hospital was negligent by not looking at her charts and catching their overadiation mistake. The overadiation caused the perforation of her bowel that caused a bacterial infection in her blood and her death.

If you or someone you love has been the victim of medical negligence, contact the Philadelphia medical malpractice lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams P.C. by calling 856-667-8666 today.
