Toni Woods is suing a New Zealand district health board (DHB) after her partner’s CT scans—which showed enlarged nodes on his chest and neck—were lost due to an IT error. After a year of continued illness and not knowing the results of the previous scan, Lindsay Collinson’s cardiologist ordered a new scan, which revealed metastasized cancer. Within four months, Collinson was dead.
