About this listen

 This case study illustrates how a Legal Nurse Consultant (LNC) aided in a medical malpractice lawsuit stemming from a misdiagnosis. The LNC reviewed medical records, assessed the standard of care, and constructed a timeline of events, ultimately contributing to a favorable settlement for the patient. Their work highlighted a failure to properly interpret an electrocardiogram, leading to a missed heart attack diagnosis. The LNC also supported the legal team and educated the patient. The case demonstrates the LNC's crucial role in connecting medical evidence with legal proceedings.
