Felix v. Franklin Medical Group, et. al. (Waterbury Superior Court – filed July 6, 2017) In 2014, a gastroenterologist performed a routine screening colonoscopy on Ms. Felix. He found two small polyps and sent pieces of each of them to pathology for examination. Three days later the pathologist reported the presence of pre-cancerous cells in one of the samples, and noted that the specimens were fragmented and could not be evaluated fully. The pathologist recommended removal of the remaining polyp tissues and “close clinical follow up.” Unfortunately, the healthcare system never informed Ms. Felix of the pathologist’s findings and recommendation. Almost two years later Ms. Felix went to the emergency department at St. Mary’s Hospital with sharp abdominal pain. Hospital personnel quickly diagnosed her with colon cancer (at the location of the pre-cancerous cells found in 2014). Significantly, this cancer also had invaded her liver. As a result, Ms. Felix was forced to embark on multiple courses of cancer-related treatments, and subsequently died from the cancer. Ms. Felix’s estate is seeking compensatory damages from the negligent doctor and his employers for this complete failure to deliver acceptable medical care. Cancer physicians confirm that, had she been treated properly in 2014, her pre-cancerous condition was entirely curable.

How to Use Case Builder

Case Builder contains two helpful categories: cases we are working on now and our past results. Case Builder is a novel concept. Our web designer said we should have this information fixed in a web page. We disagreed—thinking that just like our practice is always changing the case builder should be an ever-changing description of where we are right now—not last month or a year ago.
