Sketchy details here, but this is what we have:
The case arose because Jessie Sturdivant suffered an aneurysm and Barrau admitted him to Parkway Regional. After a disagreement with another physician, Barrau stopped acting as coordinator for Sturdivant’s care and stopped checking on the patient, the complaint said.Sturdivant fell into a coma and died.
Not sure what the “disagreement” was. Perhaps it was an argument over which service this patient was to be admitted to – which happens relatively frequently. In any case, having no one check up on the patient cost this doctor dearly.
