J.R. Seymour, 71, alleged that Gary Reagan, MD, delayed the diagnosis of his prostate cancer until it was not able to be treated through surgery. The suit alleges the cancer had spread into his bloodstream and bones, at which point the cancer became incurable.
The jury delivered a unanimous verdict for the defense. Mr. Seymour sought $6.5 million for special damages including past and future pain and suffering, loss of normal life, disability and emotional distress.
