Is this clinical negligence?

Posted by 70sfamily | 10:11:00 AM


A week ago patient went to hospital with pain and nausea and was sent home and told to go to GP. Blood tests they took that day later confirmed acute pancreatitis, that was not treated.
GP is outraged and sends patient back to hospital for treatment.

Blood tests today reveal initial inflammation has subsided but symptoms still persist, since bloods are OK it is decided no treatment necessary and sent home again.

Was the first event clinical negligence?

yes, they should have atleast kept the patient for observation
and the would have detected the acute pancreatitis earlier...
