Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim | |||||
On 7/26/16, patient seen by another GYN practitioner after experiencing a "gush" of blood. Of note, the patient's report of vaginal bleeding in 2016 to that GYN was significantly different from what she reported to this practitioner. Reported in 2016 was that for the last year the patient has been having postmenopausal staining and bleeding and it's gotten slightly heavier over the last couple months. She never returned to this practitioner, even though recorded was another year of bleeding.A D&C was performed; pathology revealed endometrial carcinoma. Patient underwent hysterectomy and radiation; declined genome testing and chemotherapy for over one year until recent diagnostic tests showed disease recurrence and poor prognosis. The case was settled as an economic decision to avoid a possibly more adverse outcome at trial in a likely adverse venue with a very sympathetic plaintiff. | |||||
Severity Of Injury | |||||
Permanent: Major - Paraplegia, blindness, loss of two limbs, brain damage. |
