The court dismissed a medical malpractice action, finding the defendant hospitalist met the standard of care and did not cause the plaintiff's osteomyelitis.
The decision concerns a medical malpractice action brought by Scott Graham against Dr. Sheldon Berger and others, arising from care received at Bridgepoint Health following a motorcycle accident.
The plaintiff alleged negligence in failing to diagnose and treat osteomyelitis, resulting in prolonged recovery.
The court found that Dr. Berger met the standard of care, relying on expert evidence and the contemporaneous medical records, and that the infection was likely seeded before the plaintiff came under Dr. Berger’s care.
The action was dismissed.
