David Kordek v. Dr. Vijay Marwaha

David Kordek, age 44, Sued Dr. Vijay Marwaha on a medical malpractice theory alleging that Dr. Marwaha acted below the standard of care in caring for and treating him and, as a direct, result failed to diagnose that he had bladder cancer and kidney disease with the result that he was denied the chance of successful treatment. Plaintiff was treated by Dr. Marwaha between June and November 2003 for frequent urination and other symptoms. Eventually, Kordek's kidneys became obstructed by a mass in his bladder which caused a drop in his kidneys' ability to remove waste from the bloodstream from renal failure.

Plaintiff was diagnosed with with stage-four bladder cancer and renal failure by another doctor at Rochelle Community Hospital but his treatment options were limited.

The defenses asserted by defendant are not available.
