A dying pediatrician sues her doctor for missing invasive breast cancer. Her doctor certainly makes some questionable decisions based on the fact that the patient was a physician:

Dr Carney told the court Dr Newton detected a “gritty” area on her right breast and told her “we’d better keep an eye on that”.

Dr Newton denies detecting the gritty area or saying they should keep an eye on it.

He also alleges Dr Carney was negligent by failing to regularly self-examine her breasts for signs of breast cancer given that she was a doctor . . .

. . . On October 28, 2002, she went to Dr Newton again with redness on her right breast which he diagnosed as mastitis, prescribing antibiotics and advising she could self-administer ultrasound.
