A 57-year-old Navy veteran has sued the West Haven Veterans Administration Hospital and a doctor at the facility’s Ear, Nose and Throat Department for allegedly failing to treat or diagnose his throat cancer.
In a 21-page federal lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Hartford, Ned Fairbanks claimed that, despite many nodules in his throat area, Dr. Hugh F. Reilly denied his request and a request by his then-fiancée to perform a biopsy in September 2014.
