A medical malpractice lawsuit has been filed against a New York cancer specialist, claiming he treated a woman for pancreatic cancer when she in fact was not sick, and that the treatment killed her.
Giuseppa Bono went to see Dr. Gilbert Lederman on referral from an Italian doctor who, as it turns out, is not a real doctor. Lederman did not verify the diagnosis of cancer, but instead treated her immediately with radioactive therapy. Lawyers for Bono's estate also contend that Lederman and the Italian man, Salvatore Conte, were in cahoots. John Marzulli, New York Daily News 05/11/2010
