N.Y. Court Weighs In On Ironic Malpractice Claim

BROOKLYN (CN) - A New York appellate division ruled that a hospital-patient relationship may have existed between a doctor and a woman whose cancer went undetected during her participation in a hospital study on the early detection of ovarian cancer in patients with a family history of the disease. See ruling.

Plaintiff Mary Anne Sosnoff expected to receive medical care and treatment that she could rely on for an accurate diagnosis, the ruling states.
