Kevin Golden settled a nursing home/medical malpractice case on behalf of a 61-year-old bipolar woman who was living in a nursing home because of her mental health issues. The plaintiff had been previously diagnosed with diverticulitis and started making complaints to the nursing home staff about stomach pain. The plaintiff was transferred to a local hospital and again diagnosed with diverticulitis. The plaintiff returned to the nursing home and, 10 days later, began complaining of abdominal pain and informed the treating physician about the complaints. A few hours later, the nursing home staff had the plaintiff involuntarily admitted into a mental health unit. The plaintiff stayed in the mental health unit for approximately two days and continued to make complaints of abdominal pain. The complaints were ignored, and the staff felt that the plaintiff had mental health issues and no physical issues. On the third day, the plaintiff suffered a perforated bowel and underwent emergency surgery. The plaintiff was diagnosed with sepsis and had several medical complications. The plaintiff died approximately one year later.
