GP missed ectopic pregnancy in ‘serious misdiagnosis’: tribunal

A GP highly experienced in antenatal care has been rapped for missing an ectopic pregnancy after she miscalculated the gestational stage of her patient’s pregnancy.
The Sydney-based doctor failed to consider ectopic pregnancy after her patient’s pelvic ultrasound revealed an empty uterus and she incorrectly calculated she was only 2-3 weeks pregnant, according to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
