As per the investigative complaint, Konchada failed to interpret the patient’s (name withheld) MRI correctly and in a timely manner which resulted in a patient suffering a serious stroke.  The complaint alleges Dr. Konchada putting a patient in a situation where it was too late for proper medical treatment.  

As per the Medical Statues, the malpractice of a physician is grounds for initiating disciplinary action.  It is alleged that Dr. Konchada failed to use reasonable care, skill, or knowledge when rendering medical services to this particular patient.
