PITTSBURGH - An Allegheny County woman is suing Allegheny Health Network, owner and operator of West Penn Hospital, after a nuclear medicine technologist allegedly filmed her undressing for a medical procedure.
According to a complaint filed Feb. 1 in Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, Lori Hadden was a patient at the hospital undergoing treatment for melanoma. In September of 2018, she was at West Penn to undergo an intraoperative sentinel lymph node mapping, which took place in a radiology room with Guy Caley, the technologist.
