Knee Replacement Gone Bad
30.September, 2009
http://www.oginski-law.com
A woman went to have a uni-compartmental knee replacement, and immediately upon waking from surgery was in extreme pain in the back of her knee. Despite the orthopedist's reassurances that everything was fine, and that physical therapy would solve her problem, the pain continued for the next four months.
Follow-up x-rays revealed that the original hardware was not put in the correct position during the original surgery. As a result, this patient had to undergo corrective surgery to remove all of the hardware and then put in a total knee replacement to fix the problem.
The tragedy was that this was totally preventable if an x-ray had been taken during surgery. Watch the video to learn more.

Imagine this:
A woman gets into a car accident and has a CAT scan of her head. The radiologist correctly recognizes that there is a tumor in her head but fails to tell the patient about it. Nobody from the hospital ever contacts her about this very important finding.
Seven months go by, and her vision begins to deteriorate. Watch the video to find out what happens.

You had a difficult delivery and months later are trying to find out why your baby has developmental delays. She's not reaching her milestones; she isn't turning over when she's supposed to; she doesn't track your movements with her eyes; she can't hear you very well; she's not crawling when she's supposed to, and still isn't talking.
You have questions about why your child is not meeting these developmental milestones. Who do you ask for answers? Are these developmental delays related to problems during your labor and delivery? Are they genetic? Are they normal?

Why do lawyers take on frivilous medical malpractice cases?
29.September, 2009
Instead of taking on serious cases? Are there reasons why lawyers prefer these frivilous lawsuits? Do the lawyers still get paid whether the case wins or not?
Thanks!
They don’t. You’d have to be desperate and foolish to take on a case with absolutely no merit. No only won’t you get paid, but you risk professional sanction for filing meritless actions.
What do you think about medical malpractice awards?
29.September, 2009
"There is now a great controversy over the amount monetary awards granted to plaintiffs in malpractice lawsuits brought against doctors and other medical personnel by patients."
Some awards, for instance, go into the millions. Do you feel that such rewards are too much? Do you believe that there should be a limit on the amount of money that can be awarded, and why or why not?
No.
The reality is that the publicity about Medical Malpractice has been a disservice to many patients and probably been bad for health care.
According to a peer-reviewed study by (I think Harvard Medical School), fewer than 5% of victims of malpractice act on a claim. The few that do must find a doctor familiar with the area of practice in the community to review the claim and say that it has merit before they can even go forward. This is really hard, even for the best claim, and the money outlay is significant. Then they have to get through aggressive discovery by the insurance company, which can look into every aspect of the patient’s life. Then they have to get past an opportunity for the Judge to throw it out. Then they have to prove to a jury of usually 12 people that they were harmed by negligence, and they must prove damages. They don’t get anything for attorneys’ fees unless they show the doctor was reckless or malicious. If the jury makes an award, which more than half don’t, the Judge can reduce the award, but not increase it, or disregard the jury and throw it out. Then they have to survive one or two appeals.
Nobody knows how much the malpractice insurers are making, and they have a bizarre exemption from the antitrust laws that normally prohibit price fixing. Premiums have gone up, while claims and awards have gone down. "Defensive medicine" only seems to be practiced on people who can pay, so there is some doubt that liability is a cause rather than a pretext for the providers to make more money.
Contrary to suspicion you may have, I am not a malpractice lawyer. I have never handled a Plaintiff’s malpractice claim, although I occasionally work for doctors. I am a lawyer by profession, but I work more as an economist. I started off believing that we have a problem with malpractice claims, delved into it, and changed my opinion 180 degrees. Problem in our society is that there is no PR campaign for people hurt by occasional careless doctors or hospitals.
How do I find a lawyer who deals with unpaid medical bills?
29.September, 2009
My wife recieved a court summons for a medical bill debt that should have been covered by the insurance she had before we were married.
You pretty much call around and search the internet. It is a very grueling process. Johnny Cochrane firm works in that business though, if that helps. Hey– He got the Juice off…
