Lawsuit Says Oregon Woman’s Brain Tumor Sample For Biopsy Lost
An Oregon woman has sued a Portland hospital for $900,000, alleging that a brain tumor sample set aside for biopsy has been lost, leaving her uncertain about whether the tumor was cancerous.
Catherine Stewart is seeking $100,000 in economic damages for past and future brain scans and possible surgery and $800,000 in non-economic damages for emotional distress. She’s accusing Oregon Health & Science University of medical negligence.
The Oregonian newspaper reported that hospital spokeswoman Tamara Hargens-Bradley declined comment about the lawsuit filed recently in Multnomah County Circuit Court, citing federal privacy laws.
