Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
*NR
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Patient was first treated by insured on 2/23/12 as a consultation for possible amputation of the left foot. Prior to the initial visit with the insured, the patient was being treated by another doctor for an ulceration under the left second metatarsal. Despite the patient undergoing vascular intervention and treatment in a wound care center, the ulceration only worsened. Cultures taken revealed a bacterial infection and the insured elected to perform the transmetatarsal amputation on 2/25/12, to prevent the infection from spreading. Patient did well post op but eventually developed some necrosis along the incision and after consultation with a vascular surgeon, it was determined a below knee amputation was best course of action. Patient alleges the insured failed to properly care and treat him and performed an unnecessary transmetatarsal amputation.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Significant - Deafness, loss of limb, loss of eye, loss of one kidney or lung.
