ER workup revealed critically abnormal lab values & abdominal CT scan revealed obstructing right ureteral stone. Admit orders entered at 4:00am but patient left in ED holding area for 2 hours while awaiting clean bed. Once patient transferred to floor at almost 6:0am, multiple specialty consults ordered but none stat. Patient's condition continued to deteriorate due to lack of unifying plan of care & lack of urgent treatment & patient died from complications of septic shock less than 30 hours from arrival to the hospital. | |||||
