Diagnostic Information
 
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
On 06/08/17, the patient was admitted to the Hospital after falling at home, striking his head and fracturing his right hip. He underwent an uneventful right hip fracture repair and was hospitalized for one week.On 06/29/17, a routine GI consult was ordered and the patient was seen by Dr. Donald Garrow (GI) that afternoon. On his exam that afternoon, stable vital signs were noted but rectal exam reveals dark stool with clots. Given the patient¿s hemodynamic stability and with no history of a peptic ulcer, Dr. Garrow recommended upper endoscopy the following morning. On 06/30/17, the patient underwent endoscopy where it was noted a bleeding pulsating visible vessel within a deeply cratered duodenal bulb ulcer. Dr. Garrow was able to achieve satisfactory hemostasis and confirmed an intact and in-place hemostatic clip upon the previously bleeding visible vessel. There was no other source of bleeding noted. Mr. Mossholder was transferred to the ICU on the mechanical ventilator. He died shortly thereafter. The plaintiffs allege that Dr. Garrow failed to perform an immediate endoscopy to diagnose and treat the patient for a GI bleed. A defense standard of care expert opined that the plan for endoscopy was appropriate particularly in light of the patient¿s hemodynamic stability and with no history of a peptic ulcer.
