Jury awards $3.3 million to a man who lost his bladder to cancer because of a doctor's negligence
The Orange County Register reported that a sixty-one year old man won a $3.3 million jury award in a medical malpractice case against his primary care physician.
The victim initially saw the doctor in June 2002 after he had been urinating blood. The doctor concluded that the man had a kidney stone and instructed him to do nothing unless his symptoms resurfaced.
Only six months down the road, the victim was diagnosed with bladder cancer. After enduring multiple surgeries and several months of physical therapy, he continues to walk with a cane and has to urinate into a bag attached to his stomach.
