Four visits to local emergency room and two visits to VA medical center ended in paralization of cancer patient.

Asked in Creedmoor, NC on April 28, 2026 Last answered on May 14, 2026

VA was supposed to monitor for the spread of cancer. After 6 months of chemotherapy and radiation oncology, his back was hurting for several weeks, and after 3 EMS rides and visits to the emergency room, he was sent home, and on Saturday, he was paralyzed. He also had 2 visits to the VA medical center, and they failed to do a full contrast because of a lack of communication with other hospital, and he was sent to ER, where they found that his spinal cord required emergency service, and he became paralyzed because of the negligence between the hospital and medical center.

This does need to be fully investigated and if supported by experts should result in a claim being made
