Medical Malpractice
N/AOUTCOME: $9.2 Million Settlement
Our client, a 52-year-old executive secretary had an extensive hospital stay in a New York hospital. She was discharged and thereafter had persistent nausea and vomiting for a two-week period. She was ... seen in the office by her primary care physician and by a gastroenterologist, but no diagnosis was made. After consulting with her doctor, she was readmitted to the hospital for IV fluids and diagnostic testing. Over the next two weeks our client continued to have nausea and vomiting while admitted in the hospital and was unable to take in nutrition by mouth. She became weak due to a lack of nutrition and was prescribed saline with potassium, with no vitamin supplementation or nutritional support. After 11 days of admission to the hospital, our client began displaying signs of confusion, difficulty seeing (nystagmus) and difficulty ambulating (ataxia). Despite the fact that these three symptoms were signs of a condition called Wernicke’s Encephalopathy, a specific type of brain damage that occurs as a result of a lack of B1 vitamin (Thiamine), the hospital and doctors failed to recognize these symptoms and provide the nutritional support required to prevent brain damage. With no answers from the doctors as to the cause of our client’s symptoms, and no plan of treatment to correct the decline in her mental status, her husband insisted that she be transferred to another hospital.
