I highly doubt that the sentence will stand for long.. not going by the information presented. Doctors cannot catch everything, its literally impossible.

If the doctor can be considered negligent for this, than I consider it completely ethical and reasonable for every doctor to prescribe as many random tests as they want. If the patient has extra money, why not check their bone marrow? If they don't, they might be sued for negligence for some obscure disease with no presentation, and they have the money to support it after all. Maybe every single person should undergo a few thousand dollars worth of tests every single month, just to be safe. What's your money and time compared to the potential for being sick?
