Case Details
Failure to perform surgery between post-hysterectomy differential diagnosis of bowel obstruction and transfer to subsequent nonparty hospital 19 days later - Wrongful death.
Additional Notes
This was a medical malpractice case in which the plaintiff contended that the defendant general surgeon negligently failed to perform surgery between the time of a differential diagnosis of a bowel obstruction that was made upon the patient’s readmission several days after a hysterectomy and 19 days later when the finding of sepsis and a significant amount of necrotic intestinal tissue prompted the transfer to the subsequent nonparty hospital. The plaintiff maintained that by this time, it was too late to save the 50-year-old decedent, who died approximately two months after she was transferred to the subsequent hospital. Attorney for Plaintiff, Frank S. Gaudio, The Law Office of Miller & Gaudio PC in Red Bank.
