Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim | |||||
Patient with alleged allergy to iodine underwent a CT of the abdomen without contrast. This practitioner reported that the study was limited because contrast was not given. Nine days after seen in the ED, the patient was diagnosed with a ruptured appendix resulting in an open exploratory laparotomy with small bowel resection and appendectomy. The claimant's attorney alleged a failure to report a non-perforated appendicitis. Even though the study was limited, a business decision was made to settle this case without an admission of liability to avoid protracted litigation and to protect this practitioner from potential personal exposure. | |||||
