Dr. Bleggi interpreted the CT and it is alleged he failed to identify an appendicolith and diagnose appendicitis although the radiology report clearly indicated that the appendix could not be visualized. It was also alleged that Dr. Bleggi failed to recommend additional tests including a repeat CT scan with contrast. Dr. Bleggi testified that in speaking with the emergency department providers it was his understanding that a surgery consult was going to be requested given the findings on examination. This was not done and the patient was discharged without a follow-up examination by the emergency room providers. The patient was seen at a different hospital two days later with mental status changes and continued vomiting. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with appendectomy and drainage of peritoneal abscess. Expert support was obtained for the interpretation of the CT. However, due to the potential for juror sympathy a decision was made to resolve this matter via negotiated settlement.
