Hypothetical: A medical malpractice lawsuit alleges a failure to diagnose the aortic dissection that caused the sudden death of the patient. Two days before his death, the patient had visited a medical clinic, where the patient had shown normal vital signs except for a slight fever, and a mild shortness of breath. Based on the initial clinical presentation, the tentative diagnosis was pericardial rub or possible systolic murmur. The clinic�s electronic medical records (EMR) showed that the clinic had promptly ordered blood work, a blood culture, and an echocardiogram, with a follow-up appointment in one week.
