Two parts to the story.. >However, rather than send Warren straight to the ER of the Fairview Range Medical Center, Simon called the hospital “to seek Warren’s admission.” (p. 3) Simon’s call was routed to Dr. Richard Dinter, one of three hospitalists on call that day. --> Why call when you know something is off? After hearing Simon’s summary of Warren’s symptoms, Dr. Dinter declared her symptoms were due to “a diabetes that’s out of control” (as the Court of Appeals put it) and recommended that Simon send her home with some diabetes medication, and schedule a follow-up visit for next Monday, three days later --> Do this and get sued every time. The basic thing for a doctor to do is to check whats wrong with the patient and 9 out of 10 times, you need the patient in place to examine and declare..
