Client’s Case

A college student went to a physician seen on TV.  She had symptoms of fever and neck stiffness.  The doctor failed to timely diagnose and treat acute bacterial meningitis.  The delay caused a two week coma and some cognitive defects.
In this situation the main fault lies with a doctor. The doctor failed to promptly diagnose and treat the patient's condition, which was acute bacterial meningitis. This delay in diagnosis and treatment had serious consequences for the patient's health.
