Author(s): Jacobson, Ashley A.; Sakamoto, Ayumi E.; Moore, Gregory P.; Boie, Eric T. | Abstract: We present three medicolegal cases of medical negligence settled out of court. These cases all involved patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) with a suspected diagnosis of kidney stone. Highlighted are the importance of patient communication, addressing incidental findings found during a patient’s ED visit, anticipating complications, and the need for thorough documentation.
