Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
Mr. Lambert presented to Florida Hospital Waterman on June 7, 2013 complaining of left arm, left leg and right leg pain for the previous 12 hours. He underwent a bilateral Doppler Ultrasound which showed right lower extremity occlusions to his superficial femoral artery and dorsalis pedis artery and poor flow to his left common femoral artery. Mr. Lambert was diagnosed with right leg ischemia, acidosis and acute renal failure in the Emergency Department. The hospital was not equipped to handle the emergent condition. The ED physician contacted a surgeon at Florida Hospital Orlando, who agreed to admit Mr. Lambert immediately. Prior to discharge the ED physician reviewed Mr. Lambert¿s chest X-ray which showed a left upper chest nodule. The X-ray report was not transferred with patient as part of his paperwork. In addition, the ED physician never mentioned the nodule to the transferring surgeon or any doctor at Florida Hospital Orlando. | |||||
