Case Details

A man suffered a stroke after his doctors failed to properly treat his symptoms. He saw his doctor at Advocate Physician Partners after a spike in his blood pressure in 2015. Rather than ordering tests, an EKG, a simple blood test, or prescribing blood pressure medication, the doctor sent the man home after 'diagnosing' him with the flu. A few weeks later, the man suffered a stroke and now is largely disabled, requiring round-the-clock care. The man suffers from aphasia.

Additional Notes

The man’s attorney asserts the man’s doctor was an independent contractor with Advocate and is still working in the medical field. The article states 'finally settled' but the headline says 'Verdict Awarded'.
