The patient was first seen by the insured physician following a long hospitalization, multiple facial reconstruction surgeries, and approximately 45 days after his motorcycle accident. He had been taking the sterod Decadron for many weeks. The insured neurologist ordered a CT scan and began to taper the Decadron on the second visit after verifying the swelling had gone down.
