New York, NY (PRWEB) April 5, 2010 -- Lewis Johs Avallone Aviles, LLP (http://www.lewisjohs.com/profile.asp) partner, Frederick C. Johs, obtained a defendant's verdict for his client, infectious disease specialist Sandeep Gandhi, M.D., in a medical malpractice action (Index No: 19273/04), which took place in Supreme Court, Suffolk County.
The plaintiff, a 34 year-old male, alleged a failure to diagnose and treat Endocarditis during treatment in 2002. He further alleged that his doctors were negligent in failing to properly and timely order appropriate antibiotics and in failing to timely order blood work and blood cultures. In addition, the plaintiff alleged that his doctors failed to take an adequate medical history, including prolonged fever, elevated temperature, chills, and weight loss.
The plaintiff was subsequently diagnosed with Strep Viridans Bacteremia and Endocarditis and underwent an aortic valve replacement with a St. Jude prosthetic valve.
