Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim | |||||
Eight days post laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the patient presented to the ED with complaints of abdominal pain and discharge from the surgical site. She was diagnosed with superficial post-operative drainage from surgical incision with associated abdominal pain, prescribed Augmentin and told to follow-up with her surgeon. One week later, she again presented to the ED with complaints of abdominal pain, was diagnosed with a bile leak and admitted to the hospital. Despite aggressive treatment and multiple surgical procedures the patient's condition continued to deteriorate due to her multiple comorbidities, including advanced HIV AIDS and she ultimately expired. The lawsuit was voluntarily withdrawn against this practitioner. | |||||
