Example: I am caring for your back pain. I send you to a neurologist.
He then sends me a report with any pertinent information regarding procedures, findings, testing, etc that he performed. I then call him and say, "Hey Jim, are you telling me that she needs surgery, or do you think that she just needs Physical Therapy?"
No Violation.
Clarify your question.....

Med Malpractice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a retired physician I would agree that the practice in ER's is terrible alot (not of course 'all') of the time.
However...if you have a WORTHY malpractice case...the action, or in this case omission of the ER physician would need to be THE THING that directly lead to your mom having a problem i.e. her kidney problem OR if death came about shortly thereafter.
ALSO...had your mom seen a physician in the year before? Reason for this Q is that, did they check your mom's kidney function?
Was the bad kidney function a RESULT of the accident? And IF the ER doctor would have suspected an injury in the area of the back or abdomen, should a urinalysis been ordered? If that was done, was it abnormal.
Let's take one other comparison. IF your mom had been in an accident and had perhaps a concussion, yet the ER doctor failed to pick up the MELANOMA on the back of her leg that she died from 6 months later. Would this be malpractice? The answer: NO. The 2 weren't related. IF on the other hand she hand been to a DERMATOLOGIST in the week after the accident complaining that she had a couple of moles that needed checked out and he/she MISSED the melanoma (they should do a head to toe, front/back exam) and she subsequently died from the Melanoma, now THIS IS malpractice.
I hope this helped!
