Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim | |||||
Patient was hospitalized on 3/26/17 for a comminuted right calcaneus. Lab work showed patient was within acceptable range for surgery and was cleared by the hospitalist and anesthesia. Insured and co-defendant performed an open reduction internal fixation on 3/27/17. Patient followed up with both insured and co-defendant for three weeks before being sent back to the hospital for cellulitis of the right foot. Co-defendant noted the patient was non-compliant with wound care instructions and taking antibiotics as prescribed. Patient continued to be non-compliant resulting in cellulitis and eventually osteomyelitis which required three more hospitalizations. Patient went on to treat with another doctor for the non-healing wound to include additional surgery. No amputation occurred. Patient alleges failure to provide an antibiotic regimen postoperatively and at discharge, failure to consult with Infectious Disease specialist, failure to consult with surgeon proficient in performing surgery on comminuted calcaneal fracture; failure to transfer to a trauma center, failure to properly diagnose and treat patient¿s anemia, failure to contact a nurse supervisor when IV antibiotics were discontinued prior to discharge, failure to provide proper wound care upon discharge. Patient also alleges surgery should not have been performed because patient was unstable and anemic. | |||||
Severity Of Injury | |||||
Temporary: Minor - Infections, misset fracture, fall in hospital. Recovery delayed. |
