Diagnostic Information
 
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
Patient presented to the ED with complaints of shortness of breath and cramping in her left arm. She was diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy and hyperventilation syndrome. Five days later she was diagnosed with a blood clot in the left arm.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
There was no operation, diagnostic or treatment procedure by this physician causing the injury.
Diagnostic Code : 
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
Cervical radiculopathy and hyperventilation syndrome/blood clot in left arm.
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Amputation of the left forearm. Approximately 5 days after seen by this practitioner the patient presented to a different facility and was diagnosed with a blood clot in her left arm. Despite two surgical embolectomies the patient continued to clot, developed left arm ischemic gangrene and underwent amputation of the left forearm. The plaintiff's attorney alleged a failure to diagnose a blood clot in the left arm which allegedly led to gangrene and the patient's ultimate loss of limb. This claim was settled without an admission of liability and as a business decision in order to avoid protracted litigation and potential excess exposure to this practitioner.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Significant - Deafness, loss of limb, loss of eye, loss of one kidney or lung.
