Two days after the baby was seen in the ED, the infant underwent a right hemicolectomy for an ischemic bowel obstruction at another facility. The baby was ultimately diagnosed with peritonitis and volvulus ischemic right colon. The plaintiff's attorney alleged that this physician failed to properly evaluate the patient and rule out a bowel obstruction. This case was settled without an admission of liability and as a business decision in order to avoid protracted litigation and potential excess exposure to the physician. | |||||
