Attorney Richard Tynan recently obtained a defense verdict in a Hartford Superior Court case. The plaintiff had a screen mammography whereupon her radiologist recommended further studying. That further study was carried out with additional views, with the advice to the plaintiff that she return for follow-up in four months. Plaintiff did not return for follow-up. She was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer ten months later and alleged a deviation from the standard of care and failure to properly interpret the mammogram, failure to evaluate with ultrasound, and failure to clearly advise the plaintiff of her need for follow-up. The verdict was awarded in July 2006.
