After John Ritter‘s sudden death a few years ago, his family filed suit for negligence against his radiologist and cardiologist.
Ritter died in 2003 due to a torn aorta. His widow and children blamed the docs for not properly screening and warning Ritter.
On Friday, a California jury (with a verdict of 9-3) has cleared both doctors against all charges in this civil case.
To add even more salt to an open wound, the jury also found that after getting a full body scan in 2001, Ritter was advised by his radiologist to get follow up treatment by a physician. Unfortunately, Ritter never made the followup visit he was told to do.
Note to everyone, please take your doctor’s advise seriously. If they tell you get seek treatment, do it. Be safe, y’all!
