| 57 y/o male presented to the physician¿s office with complaints of epigastric pain for the previous two nights. He related each episode, which lasted about 5 minutes, with eating spicy foods. After testing Dr. Baney believed his condition to be gastrointestinal in nature. It was later determined that his complaints were related to a cardiac condition. | |||||
| Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury | |||||
| Dr. Baney ordered an EKG and labs, including a troponin level. The EKG was normal and the patient was discharged. After the troponin level came back slightly abnormal the physician¿s office called the patient and asked him to return to the office for further testing. A second troponin was run and it appeared to be normal. It was learned later that the test run at the hospital was a Troponin I while the second test run at the clinic was a Troponin T. The tests have different ranges of normal, and both were elevated. | |||||
