| Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
| The patient was transported to the ER via ambulance for complaints of chest pain radiating down both arms. By the time he arrived at the hospital he was pain free and denied shortness of breath or nausea and vomiting. Upon his initial examination he was warm and dry. The EKG, chest x-ray and Troponin done in the ER were all negative. He had a family history of CAD and was a smoker. | |||||
| Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury | |||||
| Serial Troponin levels and EKGs were ordered. The patient had no further complaints of chest pain throughout his stay and did not receive vasodilators. The Troponin levels remained negative. A 4:00 am EKG demonstrated some non-specific changes. A Nuclear Stress Test was performed at 7:30 am. The patient tolerated the test without complaint of chest pain and the exam was read as normal. Based upon all of these findings, the physician discharged the patient with the recommendation that he follow up with his PCP. Thirteen days post discharge Mr. Sauter suffered an MI at home and was transported to the hospital. He was catheterized but his prognosis was poor. He suffered a second MI while in the ICU and was diagnosed with brain death. | |||||
