“Said I misjudged, the thought of pericarditis had crossed my mind but I had not heard any pericardial rubbing and such a Dressler must be extremely rare so long after surgery,” notes an internist in the course as her patient on the intensive care unit lies after resuscitation.
A remarkable note, because she has not misjudged anything, conclude the regional and Central Disciplinary Court for Health Care.
