Q: Attorney Tully, can you file a complaint against a doctor and hospital for their failure to order enough medical testing to prevent a medical catastrophe?
A: Yes, a jury recently awarded a $1.7 million verdict to the family of a three-month-old girl who died from a brain injury because their doctor failed to diagnose a bacterial meningitis infection. The hospital where the deceased child was misdiagnosed was also held responsible. The doctor tragically diagnosed the child with a middle-ear infection and discharged her with a prescription for amoxicillin. What the doctor and hospital failed to do was to order a blood count and urinalysis to rule out meningitis. We do misdiagnosis and failed diagnosis cases against doctors and hospitals. No recovery/no fee. Call me.
