Diagnostic Information
 
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
On 10/6/11, the patient presented to the Emergency Room at Cape Coral Hospital with a chief complaint of abdominal pain. The patient was subsequently admitted to Cape Coral Hospital with a diagnosis of colitis and abdominal pain.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
Dr. Feliciano-Vasquez was a hospitalist at Cape Coral Hospital during the patient¿s admission from 10/6/11 to 10/10/11. Dr. Feliciano-Vasquez saw the patient once on the medical floor and twice in the ICU during the admission. Dr. Feliciano-Vasquez assessed the patient for approximately 30 minutes on the medical floor on 10/8/11. The patient had complaints of mild to moderate diffuse abdominal pain and fever, but no shortness of breath. At this time, the patient was on NG tube suction and was being treated with three antibiotics: Fancomycin, Levaquin and Flagyl. Dr. Feliciano-Vasquez did not order any additional medications. On 10/9/11, Dr. Feliciano-Vasquez saw the patient in the ICU. The diagnosis was sepsis syndrome, with the abdomen as the probable source. The care plan included continuing antibiotics. There was a Critical Care doctor following the patient in the ICU. Dr. Feliciano-Vasquez noticed that the patient¿s blood cell count was better from the previous day. He did not speak to any of the ICU doctors or order anything at this time.When Dr. Feliciano-Vasquez assessed the patient in the ICU on 10/10/11, a surgeon had already recommended surgery. The patient was tachycardic, but vital signs were otherwise stable. The NG tube was out, pain was decreased and, overall, the patient was feeling better. Other than the recommendation for surgery, the patient continued on the same treatment plan. Nearly three hours after Dr. Feliciano-Vasquez assessed the patient, Cardiology noted moderate pulmonary hypertension. The patient coded five minutes later.
Diagnostic Code : 
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
Plaintiff's Estate claimed that Dr. Feliciano-Vasquez failed to appropriately examine, evaluate, diagnose and treat the patient during this admission at Cape Coral Hospital
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Plaintiff's Estate claimed that, due to the alleged medical negligence, the patient passed away at Cape Coral Hospital on 10/10/11, as a result of a pulmonary embolism. We disputed Dr. Feliciano-Vasquez's alleged role in causing or contributing to the patient's death.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Death.
