Peritonitis - abdominal catastrophe - Stephen Cohen and Pat Iyer

http://podcast.legalnursebusiness.com Dr. Stephen Cohen, a highly respected and experienced specialist in the GI tract, has visited this podcast a number of times. Today, he shares his perspectives on medical-legal issues connected with diverticulosis and other medical issues. He emphasizes that because of the length of the intestinal system and complexity of colorectal surgery, a certain percentage of complications resulting from surgery are expected. He estimates this at about eight percent. For the most part these are not medical liability issues. Liability, he says, does arise in diverticulitis cases. He cites in detail the example of a 26-year-old man who received surgical intervention when it wasn’t indicated according to the standard of care. Intervention created the need for more interventions. As a result of the initial poor decision, a young man ended up with a colostomy bag for the rest of his life. Cohen also says that delay in diagnosis and treatment can cause a worsening condition that can end up as a medical liability issue. Often the doctors responsible for these failures are the partners of the operating surgeon and aren’t familiar with the patient. Also commonly, too often younger and less experienced doctors are afraid to make the correct decision. This emphasizes the crucial importance of training young doctors in appropriate decision making. Dr. Cohen is a true teacher, and you will get a thorough lesson in this important area of medicine.
