Unbeknownst to our client, a pelvic ultrasound revealed an abnormal growth on her ovary which was reported to her OB/GYN with a recommendation for follow-up imaging. The defendant OB/GYN neither acted on that recommendation nor communicated the abnormal results to his patient. Approximately two years later, our client saw her doctor with complaints of pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding. Stage 4 ovarian cancer was promptly diagnosed. Our client then learned of the previously abnormal ultrasound for the first time. With the help of our renowned medical experts we established that had the recommended follow-up imaging been ordered, the cancer would have been diagnosed at an earlier stage greatly reducing her risk of recurrence and improving her long-term survival.
