| Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim | |||||
| Patient was first seen by insured on 9-9-13 as a hospital consultation. At that time the patient had been admitted because of an infection of her right, fifth toe and was being treated with IV antibiotics. Upon hospital discharge, patient began treatment at insured¿s office on 9/17/13 and was to continue the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by the ID specialist. Patient had ongoing, continued pain. An MRI demonstrated edema of the proximal phalanx and part of the middle phalanx, which the radiologist read as being nonspecific. Insured discussed biopsy versus amputation of the fifth toe with patient. Patient decided to have the amputation after talking to a family member, who is a physician, about her condition. Patient claims she did not have osteomyelitis and alleges insured failed to biopsy her toe and perform a bone scan prior to recommending amputation. | |||||
