Six-figure recovery

A middle-aged woman from Bedford County developed tuberculosis peritonitis because a doctor failed to properly interpret a possible tuberculosis skin test. As a result of the error, the tuberculosis spread to her abdomen and required the woman to undergo a hysterectomy. We filed a medical malpractice claim against the physician on the ground that treatment could have been provided for the tuberculosis before it spread to the abdomen if the skin test had been properly interpreted. We obtained a six-figure recovery on her behalf.
