Estate of John Wayne Marker v. Evans
Type of Case: Wrongful death, Medical malpractice
Court: Prince Edward County Circuit Court
Attorney: James B. Feinman, Lynchburg
Summary: A 38-year-old construction worker went to the emergency room of Southside Community Hospital in November 2000 after experiencing a crushing pain in his chest. Although his wife told the emergency room nurse he believed he was having a heart attack and that his twin brother had heart disease, the physician concluded that he had stomach problems and prescribed medication for it.
Three months after the emergency room visits, Marker collapsed and died at work. An autopsy disclosed severe coronary artery disease.
An appeal of the case is pending.
