BELLEVILLE–An Illinois woman is suing a doctor and health care providers, alleging negligence in her husband's death.
Barbara Tanner, acting as administrator of her husband Bryant Tanner Jr.'s estate, filed a lawsuit Oct. 19 in St. Clair County Circuit Court against Prairie Cardiovascular Consultants, Dr. Paban Saha and St. Elizabeth's Hospital of the Hospital Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis.
