http://injury.parrlaw.com – Indiana medical malpractice lawyer Paul Kruse states that if you believe that you or a family member has been a victim of malpractice, you should talk to an attorney as soon as possible. Indiana law sets strict deadlines on how much you have to file a claim and if you missed your deadline, you will not be able to pursue the claim at all.

I went to Urgent Care because I had terrible pains in my abdomen. The urgent care called an ambulance and I was taken to the hospital in. After extensive examinations it was determined that I had a congenital defect in my intestine called a Mekel. The surgeon explained that this was a bubble or outgrowth in my intestine and that it was causing a blockage of my intestine. I was rushed into surgery and that piece of my intestine was removed and the intestine was reattached.
The negligence that I complain of was caused after the surgery. …..days after my surgery my surgeon came into my room at the hospital. He told me that he was going on vacation and that he wanted to take out the staples before he left. When he began to take out the staples the wound burst open and a gush of fluid and blood came out and soaked my clothes and the bed. The doctor began to panic, tried to hold the wound together with his hand and started yelling for the nurses to bring in bandages, medical equipment. I do not remember all that he asked the nurses for. I was in incredible pain. The wound had opened up exposing my intestines. It was about 2 inches wide and 4 inches long. The surgeon packed the open wound with gauze to control the bleeding and the fluid leakage and sent me home the same day.
While at home I was in agony. I had a nurse who came everyday to take the packed gauze out of the open incision and re-pack it. The very first thing that she told me after she saw that I was sent home with a wound exposing my intestines was that they shouldn’t have sent me home like this. She said that gut wounds get infected very easily and that she never heard of a hospital sending someone home with an open stomach wound like I had. It is hard for me to explain in words just how much it hurt to have belly opened like that and to have to have it cleaned everyday and re-stuffed. I put dents in the wall of my apartment where my bed was because of pounding my fist into the wall when bandage changing occurred. Because my stomach was opened the wound could not begin to heal and close up. I spent a week at home with an open belly and the entire period was wasted as recovery time.
Because the staples had been taken out early all of the internal stitches loosened up. A week after the first staples were taken out I had to go back to the hospital for a second surgery to fix everything that was messed up. Because my first surgeon was still on vacation a different surgeon did the second operation. I had a very hard time recovering after the second surgery and spent another 5 days in the hospital. If the doctor had not removed the staples too early I would not have had the second surgery and my recovery time would have been much less.
I was told by my second surgeon that I will have to go back to the hospital for a third surgery in the next couple of months. The time when my stomach laid open without staples weakened my internal stomach muscles to the point that I will have to have a hemorrhoid operation.
After the second surgery I was sent home with a weeks worth of antibiotics. The first day out of the hospital I was rushed to urgent care because of the antibiotics got stucked in my troat. The doctor told me not to take them anymore that.. I asked the surgeon if it would be ok for me to make the trip and he said that it would be. About 5 days after I arrived my wound began to bubble out and I woke one morning to having my clothes soaked with blood and fluid. I went to the emergency room at Hospital and the doctor there said that I should have stayed on antibiotics. He said that gut wounds are very susceptible to infection and that a patient with a surgery like the one I had should be kept on antibiotics while the wound is still open and susceptible for infection. He cleaned the area and gave me a prescription for antibiotics.
In conclusion, my first surgeon negligently took out the staples after my first surgery too early and he sent me home with an open wound. By negligently removing the staples too early it directly resulted in having to have second surgery and upcoming third surgery. It also resulted in increased recovery period, meaning that I have been unable to return to work.
Please I need to know~
Thank you,
Abso-fucking-lutely! That is awful! I am so sorry for all of the trouble and agony you had to go through.

As a lawyer who’s handled medical malpractice and negligence court cases in New York, you learn one thing very quickly. Unfortunately in this country, the practice of medicine has become a business and too many people dont get the care that theyre supposed to get. And its not only doctors who do something wrong. Very often its just endemic to our system, its part of our system. You have hospitals that cant handle the load. And as New York malpractice lawyers, we had a case once and Im convinced to this day, it was a case involving a child who was brain damaged, at birth, and Im convinced to this day that that occurred because the hospital was just too busy and didnt have an experienced doctor on the floor to make the decisions that have to be made regarding the delivery of that child. I handled that medical malpractice and negligence court case for many years. What was interesting about it, to me, and something that you know, maybe its important why clients should think of this firm, is what we did when we handled that case. Because back then, this firm was a different kind of firm and we didnt do our own medical malpractice cases. We allowed other New York malpractice lawyers to do it. And we brought in people who I considered experts. The reason, by the way, that I did that, is back then I didnt consider us great, yet, at medical malpractice. And I wasnt going to do it unless I was great at it. So I gave it out to people who I considered great. And no one wanted the case. Everybody told me, Theres no case here. And I just looked at it and I said, Somethings wrong, that cant be right. Its just not right. I took the medical malpractice and negligence court case. I handled it myself. We went through all the discovery and I remember we got to a point actually where it was time to find a doctor, to come into court to testify. And I was having the darnedest time. I couldnt get a doctor to testify. I finally found one doctor that was willing to be helpful, but not in the specialty I needed. And he helped me find another doctor. And eventually the medical malpractice case did come to court and I got the client a very nice settlement.
I remember why I actually go that case settled. I was standing there in the court house and the lawyer was coming up to me and arguing with me. They didnt want to settle the case with me, which sometimes happens in medical malpractice cases. And I turned to them and I just looked at them. And I said to them, Listen, Ive been preparing this case for years. You really dont want to get me started. You really dont want to get me started. This child is brain damaged and make no mistake about it, at the end of this trial, I am going to win. Make no mistake about it. And I went on and I was talking to them and I was talking to them about the kid. And I had only seen her once, because it was so difficult to bring her into the office. But I had a very vivid recollection, as to many New York malpractice lawyers who care about their clients. And as I was talking to the lawyer about it, and about how horrible this childs life is, I started to look down and my eyes started to well up, a little, with tears. I didnt cry but you could see the glaze come over my eyes. And the lawyer looked at me, he left, and two hours later, they paid the money.

I study in Jordan and the Medical School in West Virginia requires malpractise insurance for my one-month pediatrics rotation there, does anyone know how I can get it? thx
You’ll need to contact an independant insurance agent in the US, preferably one who specializes in malpractice since your normal everyday State Farm or Allstate agent isn’t going to have a clue what to do with Malpractice.
You may have a bit of a problem though because trying to buy a policy for one month is not going to be all that easy. I’m guessing that the hospital in West Virginia may have run into this problem before though since not too many medical students carry malpractice insurance. I would ask the hospital what suggestions they have for you to obtain this coverage. It’s quite possible that they have an agent or broker that can provide the coverage for you. I have no idea what the premium will be though.

Then the surgeon will make a small skin incision in the upper chest, just below the collarbone.
A pocket is then created between the skin and the tissue that covers the chest muscle.
Next, the team will use instruments called retractors to hold back the skin and underlying tissue. They’ll locate a large blood vessel called the subclavian vein.
Using a special needle and syringe, your doctor will puncture the wall of the vein.
A thin guide wire is then inserted through the needle and into the vein. Your doctor gently pushes the wire until it reaches the heart. Medical Malpractice
Using an instrument called a fluoroscope the surgical team is able to see the wire’s progress through the vein and into the beating heart.
Once the wire is in place, the needle is removed
and a catheter – or hollow tube – is passed over the guide wire and into the heart.
One or two leads are then passed through the catheter.
When the lead or leads are in their proper position,
the catheter is removed. Medical Malpractice
Finally, the lead is connected to the pacemaker,
the pacemaker is inserted into the pocket below the collar bone
and the incision is closed.
