This is a compelling example of a medical malpractice lawsuit involving a misdiagnosis. The heart of this lawsuit centers on a preventable medical disaster. The plaintiff sought care from her trusted physician, Dr. Daniel Genson (not real name), with troubling gastrointestinal symptoms. Rather than performing appropriate diagnostic tests or referring her to a specialist, Dr. Genson not only missed the signs of a Clostridioides difficile (C-diff) infection\u2014an infection known to be worsened by anti-diarrheal medications\u2014but he went a step further and prescribed Imodium (loperamide).
