I’ve been handling medical M practice
0:06
cases for the past 20 years it’s
0:08
important to have an experienced lawyer
0:11
handle these type of cases you wouldn’t
0:13
want to go to a doctor who’s for KN knee
0:16
surgery who’s never performed knee
0:18
surgery before likewise you wouldn’t
0:20
want to go to a doctor for back surgery
0:23
who’s never performed back surgery
0:25
before they’re very difficult and they
0:28
require large finan L by the lawyer in
0:31
order to handle the case properly I
0:34
remember a case some years back that I
0:36
handled involving a woman who had a
0:38
tumor in her abdomen that the surgeon
0:41
attempted to take out endoscopically
0:43
through an endoscope running down her
0:45
throat the tumor was removed by the
0:49
endoscope and and the surgeon properly
0:53
but the woman wound up bleeding out in
0:55
the pacu unit after the surgery the
0:59
reason the surgeon chose the endoscope
1:01
was because it didn’t make a scar it it
1:02
wouldn’t be disfiguring for the patient
1:06
however once I got that case or once the
1:08
firm got that case we investigated and
1:11
researched the literature the literature
1:13
St clearly that the size tumor that
1:16
woman had should never have been taken
1:18
out by an endoscope one of the reasons
1:21
for that was because you could not
1:23
adequately identify post-operative
1:26
bleeding we were able to obtain a mid
1:29
seven figureure the result for that
1:31
patient on the Eva trial the reason it
1:34
was the Eva trial is because in these
1:36
Medical malale Practice cases the
1:38
insurance companies do not settle until
1:41
they know you are prepared to go to
1:43
trial only an experienced male practice
