: Personal Injury and Social Security Disability BlogFamily Fights For Right To Sue Military Over Medical Malpractice
By Robert Kraft
The CBS Evening News (3/24, story 5, 3:40, Couric) reported, "About a year ago, we brought you the tragic story of Marine Sergeant Carmelo Rodriguez. Military doctors noticed he had melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer, but they left it untreated and Rodriguez died." Under the "Feres Doctrine, a 1950 Supreme Court ruling" his family is forbidden from "suing the federal government for medical malpractice." Members of Congress held a hearing to discuss the proposal by "New York Congressman Maurice Hinchey" called the "Carmelo Rodriguez Bill."
