Posted on Nov 25, 2011 6:30pm PST
A hospital is reportedly involved in a medical malpractice case as a patient claims he lost his fingers, toes and part of his leg as a result of poor medical care. It is alleged that after the man underwent surgery, he was recommended to have an x-ray conducted. However, a radiologist realized that he should have a CT scan instead. Employees at the hospital reportedly failed to order the CT scan instead. As a result, his treatment was delayed and he suffered septic shock which led to the amputations.
