Generato dall'IAThe court dismissed the plaintiff's claim regarding a 2013 treatment error allegedly causing her untreatable cancer and subsequent death in 2015. The plaintiff argued the medical negligence directly led to her condition becoming incurable, while the defense maintained the disease progression was independent of the alleged error. The court found insufficient evidence to establish a causal link between the specific 2013 treatment and the fatal outcome.
