Civil Plaintiff
Parents in South Carolina Sue Hospital for Malpractice, Claim Child’s Cancer Was Undetected at Birth
A York family’s 5-year-old son is in a wheelchair.
Tristan Blanton’s parents claim he was born with cancer, but despite several x-rays at Piedmont Medical Center, they said doctors missed it.
Because the Blantons are suing, they could not speak to Channel 9 directly. WSOC-TV obtained a mediation video of their story and have included portions in this report.
In June 2017, Chase and Jenna Blanton welcomed their first born son, Tristan, at Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill.
