Diagnostic Information
 
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.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
Mr. Lambert underwent an aorto peripheral angiogram to Mr. Lambert¿s right common femoral artery on June 7, 2013. Mr. Lambert was discharged on June 8, 2013 after being cleared by the surgeon. He was ordered to follow up with the surgeon and his primary care physician within 1 week.
Diagnostic Code : 
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
Plaintiff alleged Defendant failed to review Mr. Lambert¿s chest X-ray to determine Mr. Lambert had a lung nodule and Defendant failed to order Mr. Lambert to follow up with the proper physician resulting in pain and suffering; despite the fact the Defendant was not present during Mr. Lambert¿s admission, he did not admit Mr. Lambert, did not write admission orders, was not part of the telephone discussion between the ED doctor at Florida Hospital Waterman and multiple physicians at Florida Hospital Orlando and never received Mr. Lambert¿s chest X-ray report.
