Attorneys Andrew Foulkrod and Eric Lauerman Successful at Trial for Local Pediatrician

The case involved a patient who presented to the ER with a history of pancytopenia.  Platelet count was 4,000 in the ER.  At the time of discharge from the ER, the ER doctor called the patient's pediatrician.  There was a factual dispute about what was discussed during the call.  The patient was then discharged from the ER without a blood transfusion, and suffered an intracranial hemorrhage that night.

After four days of trial, the case was discontinued as to the pediatrician
