Elizabeth W. Baker v. D. Michael Rose, M.D.; and Surgical Associates of Richmond P.C.
On or about Jan. 28, 2010, plaintiff underwent a biopsy of her stomach tissue to determine appropriate course of medical treatment. On or about Jan. 28, 2010, plaintiff says Commonwealth Laboratory Consultants received and examined the specimen and reported to the defendant a cancer of the stomach. On or about Jan. 29, 2010, the defendant recommended that the plaintiff have all or part of her stomach removed, the plaintiff contends. The surgery was performed on or about Feb. 1, 2010. Plaintiff’s removed stomach was examined on or about Feb. 2, and it was determined that she did not have stomach cancer, but acute gastritis. Plaintiff alleges the defendant breached the standard of care, and seeks $2.5 million, plus interest and costs.
