THERE IS A QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER A DRUG, WHICH CAN DISSOLVE BLOOD CLOTS IN MINUTES, SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADMINISTERED TO PLAINTIFF WHO WAS SUFFERING FROM A PULMONARY EMBOLISM UPON ADMISSION; SUPREME COURT REVERSED; TWO-JUSTICE DISSENT (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Manzanet-Daniels, over a two-justice dissent, determined that the defendants’ motion for summary judgment in this medical malpractice case should not have been granted. The opinion is fact-specific and too detailed to fairly summarize here. The majority concluded there was a question of fact whether the administration of a drug, which defendants averred was contraindicated, would have saved decedent’s life. Decedent  was suffering from a pulmonary embolism upon admission. The staff waited hours for blood tests and an angiogram to confirm the diagnosis. A drug which can dissolve blood clots in minutes was not administered. Barry v Lee, 2019 NY Slip Op 09397, First Dept 12-26-19
