A student whose arm was amputated after her complaints were misdiagnosed as "muscle strain" and "anxiety" is to be a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the student health center at Ohio University, reports The Post, the Ohio University newspaper. The freshman was found to have necrotizing fasciitis, a rare bacterial infection that kills one-third of its victims. Her concerned father took her to the emergency room after her symptoms worsened, and her arm was amputated that night. Student health center physicians had declined to send her to an emergency room, even though she requested it. According to The Post, a 2007 study found the health center, where 4 physicians serve 20,000 students,  to be understaffed.
