Didio, et. al. v. Fairfield Primary Health, et. al. (Bridgeport Superior Court – filed March 9, 2017) The plaintiff visited her primary care physician, Dr. Faye Ahmadian of Fairfield Primary Health Care, LLC, at the end of 2013 with complaints of abdominal pain, pelvic pressure, urinary discomfort, and nausea. She was referred to an urologist by Ahmadian and received a CT scan two days later. The radiology report from that scan, reviewed by Ahmadian, documented a 3.3 cm suspicious cyst in patient’s appendix. Ahmadian never informed the plaintiff about the abnormal radiological finding associated with her appendix. A year and a half later, the plaintiff was diagnosed with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the appendix, which had spread to the colon, and had to undergo an extensive abdominal/peritoneal surgical resection followed by multiple rounds of chemotherapy. Dr. Ahmadian neglected to follow the proper standard of case—not pursuing nor even disclosing the presence of a suspicious mass in her patient—and failed to recommend further treatment that would have prevented the spread of cancer.
