Diagnostic Code : 
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
There was no misdiagnosis of this patient based upon the available information to this physician. This physician was not provided with a copy of the patient's Sign-in form which indicated pain in the middle of the chest going down into the arms making them hurt and feel heavy.
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Two days after seen in the Urgent Care Center the patient was found unconscious at home. She was brought to the hospital by EMS and diagnosed with an acute myocardial infarction and underwent emergent stenting. She is partially paralyzed and has significant brain injury. Her attorney alleged a failure to recognize a cardiac process. Importantly, an EKG performed in the UCC was normal. Further, this physician was not advised of the patient's complaints listed on the Sign-in Sheet which differ from the complaints given to this physician. This case was settled without an admission of liability and as a business decision to protect this physician from possible personal exposure.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Grave - Quadraplegia, severe brain damage, lifelong care or fatal prognosis.
