"Legal Action Looms Over Pathology Errors at Providence Health"

Patients at Providence Health System, including Jeri, are planning to sue over lab errors after nearly a dozen patients had their lab results incorrectly reviewed by a pathologist, leading to misdiagnoses and delayed treatment. The hospital system has been reaching out to impacted patients and is conducting a thorough investigation. Jeri, who was initially told her cervical biopsy was benign, is now scheduled for surgery after the corrected report revealed a high-level cervical cancer risk. She and other affected patients are seeking answers and changes to prevent such errors in the future.
