Brian Scott Dutcher Sr., a 34-year-old father of five from Sebewaing, died in 2002, about a week after the radiologist who read the initial CT scan of his brain missed signs of a massive infection — multiple ringlike lesions suggestive of abscesses. Rather than treating him, Dutcher was released from Scheurer Hospital in Pigeon and told to take Tylenol for his headache, his family said.

Cheryl Jensen, 76, of Bethlehem, New Hampshire, had breast cancer that a radiologist missed on repeated mammograms. By the time it was discovered, Jensen said her cancer had advanced to stage 3 and spread to five lymph nodes. She can no longer work or do many of the activities she loved before her delayed diagnosis, she told the Free Press.
