Diagnostic Information

Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
The patient presented to the emergency room of the hospital with complaints of chronic low back pain which radiated down her right extremity into her toes on the right foot. An Ultrasound showed no evidence of DTV. An MRI L Spine demonstrated a herniated disc. Neurosurgery did not feel there was a need for emergent surgery.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
This health provider admitted the patient. The patient had been consulted by orthopedic and neurology. The consultants suggested the patient could be discharged and followed up on an outpatient basis.
Diagnostic Code :
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
There was no misdiagnosis. On the day of discharged, the patient developed shortness of breath. Her O2 sat was a 9 so a Code Rescue was called. The patient was intubated but developed respiratory failure and died. It was alleged that this provider failed to call in appropriate consults and failed to appropriately risk stratify the patient and begin the patient on anti-coagulant prophylaxis which lead to the untimely death of the patient from bilateral pulmonary emboli.
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Death.
