John Carangelo, Administrator of the Estate of James DeRosa and Stuart Anderson v. New Milford Medical Group, LLC and Christian Leonardi, D.O. (New Haven Superior Court—February 8, 2019) In May 2018, James DeRosa, of Sherman, Connecticut,  met with his primary care physician (PCP) and reported a recent history of sharp chest pain on exertion and a “tingling feeling” in his neck. The PCP obtained an electrocardiogram (ECG), which suggested that DeRosa had experienced an acute cardiac event four days earlier—the same time frame in which DeRosa experienced the sharp chest pain and neck tingling. Instead of sending DeRosa straight to an emergency department or appropriate treatment facility for prompt evaluation by a cardiologist, the PCP scheduled a cardiac stress test for the following month. The very next day DeRosa collapsed and died at his home of cardiac arrest.  According to medical experts consulted by Faxon Law Group, DeRosa’s PCP was negligent for not recognizing the urgency of DeRosa’s condition based on his recent cardiac symptoms and the abnormal ECG results, and should have sent him for immediate cardiac evaluation and treatment.  According to those experts, if DeRosa had been evaluated urgently and treated by a cardiology specialist he would be alive today.
