In the complaint, it is alleged that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timesunion.com\/news\/us\/article\/Lawyer-VA-delay-killed-Washington-state-man-5496425.php\">his client\u2019s death resulted from the delays in getting an appointment at the Seattle Veterans Affairs Hospital.<\/a><\/strong> His client, Mr. Donald Douglass, upon discovering a small spot on his forehead, contacted the Seattle VA Hospital\u00a0for treatment. He was\u00a0given an appointment for four months from that date. <strong>By the time a medical professional finally saw him, it was found that the spot was cancerous and that the cancer had already spread.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This all allegedly could have been avoided due to the fact that Mr. Douglass\u00a0could have been put on immunosuppressant drugs that would have made the removal of the spot easy. <strong>Instead, he passed away a year later because of the delay.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently, multiple Veterans Affairs facilities nationwide are under investigation for delays in patient care.<\/strong> At this time, the Seattle VA Hospital is denying liability for Mr. Douglass\u2019s injuries leading to his death.<\/p>\n<p>The Law Offices of Gilbert R.
