Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Patient presented to insured on 02-19-08 with multiple ulcerations of her right foot.She was diabetic and had end stage renal disease.She also had atherosclerotic heart disease, and smoked 3 pack/day. She was treated on frequent visits for diabetic neuropathic ulcers until 6-30-08.When ulcers showed no healing with debridement and off loading, it was advised to do surgical debridement.Patient was admitted to the hospital and was anesthetized for surgical debridement of her right, great toe at which time she suffered cardiorespiratory arrest.Patient was stabilized, intubated and transferred to the PACU.Seven days later, supportive care measures were discontinued and patient died.Plaintiffs allege that insured failed to obtain the appropriate medical clearance before performing surgery on patient.Our expert stated the standard of care for podiatric surgery to go forward is the existence of a prior history and physical by an M.D. or D.O. that is less than 30 days old.The history and physical serves as the patientÂ¿s medical clearance for podiatric surgery.The standard of care did not require insured to seek independent clearance by patientÂ¿s cardiologist or nephrologist prior to her July 3, 2008, surgery.It was up to the M.D. or D.O. who performed the prior history and physical to seek such clearance if they believed it necessary.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Death.
