Ty2PA Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/11/22/iowa-man-27-million-meningitis-misdiagnosed/10754821002/ Tough to see press like this. Tragic for the patient. Still scratching my head regarding the PA; the article paints a pretty bad portrait (I only hope there are mitigating details that are not in the article). The plaintiff's attorney commenting about PAs and supervision was the biggest eyeroll, as though things like this don't happen daily with other medical professionals. Altogether, a sobering cautionary tale.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatswain2PA Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Well, if the story is true (and it likely isnt) then it's malpractice. Fever, altered, ataxic...that's not flu. Needs to go to ED for CT, LP, labs and abx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
