Diagnostic Information

Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
Patient was a 66-yr old woman admitted to hospital on July 28, 2017 with complaints of left-sided facial droop, slurred speech, and confusion. Patient had prior history of stroke and advanced dementia.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
Hospital staff called a stroke alert for the patient on the morning after she was admitted to the hospital. She received an MRI and CT scan of the brain. The practitioner was then called in for a consult. She was diagnosed with a left MCA acute stroke and ordered to be transferred to a different hospital for further treatment, including a mechanical thrombectomy.
Diagnostic Code :
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
It is alleged that the practitioner should have administered tPA for treatment of the patient's stroke. It is the practitioner's position that the patient had already been experiencing stroke symptoms for more than 24 hours by the time he was called for a consult, and thus it was outside the therapeutic window for administration of tPA.
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
The patient suffered a stroke and passed away a month later.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Death.
