640 Toronto – Man Tests Positive For Melanoma But Doctor’s Didn’t Let Him Know

March 31, 2017

A B.C. woman claims a report with her husband’s positive cancer diagnosis fell through cracks in the medical system, costing her partner his life — and her $1-million life insurance policy. Shannon Nolting is suing several doctors, a clinic and a hospital in the Okanagan area, claiming health professionals failed to notify her husband, Eric, that he’d tested positive for melanoma five years before his death in 2012.

Disability Lawyer Sivan Tumarkin, co-founding Partner of Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, spoke to Global News Radio 640 Toronto’s Tasha Kheiriddin about the merits of the lawsuits.
