Estate of Charles Bradley v. Sun Healthcare Group, Inc., et al, Washington State, Snohomish County Case No. 09-2-09755-9
In March 2008, Mr. Bradley was taken to the hospital for what was a presumed diagnosis of pneumonia. While in the hospital, the emergency room physicians noted the smell of rotting flesh and realized that Mr. Bradley’s entire penis and portions of his scrotum were missing. Later in that hospitalization, Mr. Bradley was diagnosed with a rare, but 95% curable form of penile cancer. Upon investigation, it was determined that several nurses, including Mr. Bradley’s case manager, were well aware that he was spotting blood in his incontinent brief six to eight months prior to his hospitalization. The nursing home had changed Mr. Bradley’s adult incontinence pad over 300 times in the months before his admission to the hospital. At no time was Mr. Bradley’s son or his doctor told about the known deteriorating condition. Unfortunately, Mr. Bradley passed as a direct and proximate result of the Defendants’ negligence. A public settlement was reached days before the trial was to begin.
