Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
A patient came through the emergency department with a history that a foreign body might have impacted his eye while he was working with metal. He reported wearing safety goggles at the time and on examination only had a small amount of redness to the affected eye. A nurse practitioner was the primary clinician for this patient (I signed off on her care and her discharge recommendations after her discharge of the patient). She evaluated the patient, performing a thorough examination of the eye. The examination revealed no evidence of a foreign body in the patient's eye. In addition, the patient reported no loss of visual acuity, no visual disturbance, no pain and had no feeling that a foreign body was in his eye. As such, and in an abundance of caution, the discharge plan and written instructions to the patient included consultation with an ophthalmologist the next day. I learned that the patient did not follow these discharge instructions and waited days before being evaluated by an ophthalmologist (not the one referred from the emergency department). Ultimately, after many months and significant treatment with this ophthalmologist, the patient was diagnosed with a foreign body in his eye. He required surgery and eventually lost sight in the eye. A board certified expert in emergency medicine supported the care that was provided in the ED to this patient and offered sworn affidavit testimony confirming the same. Notwithstanding the support of this expert, the insurance carrier made the business decision to resolve the matter. It is my understanding that the insurance carrier does not need my personal consent for resolution." | |||||
