The brain has spinal fluid that circulates both on the outside of the brain and on the inside of the brain. One of the places that circulate inside the brain is the ventricles. The ventricles are these open areas on both sides of the brain. There are also ventricles that go down into the bottom of the brain. 1:03 Effects Of Intracranial Hemorrhage When babies have a ventricular hemorrhage, instead of having spinal fluid in the ventricles, they have blood. This can damage the brain and it can cause long-term problems. As a newborn intensive care specialist, I saw a lot of babies who had this kind of problem. It’s not always caused by a problem in the terms of taking care of the baby by the doctors who birthed the baby or take care of the baby later, but it can be. Especially in a situation where the baby is born prematurely, and they really shouldn’t have been born prematurely. 1:42 Causes Of Intracranial Hemorrhage Because of an error in obstetrical care, babies can be born prematurely and then end up getting intracranial and intraventricular hemorrhage. When they get these hemorrhages, sometimes it actually damages a large part of the brain and the babies can go to have difficult problems learning, as well as difficult problems walking and talking, and it can be lifelong problems for the baby. So intraventricular hemorrhage can be a very bad thing for a baby to have. I will also say that sometimes premature babies have small intraventricular hemorrhages, and these are frequently inconsequential to the long-term survival of the baby. But it can happen and it can be due to medical negligence. If your baby has been affected by an intracranial hemorrhage, you deserve more than just answers—you deserve full and fair compensation.

The question is what’s the difference between medical malpractice and medical negligence? The reality is, those are synonyms, they refer to the same thing. I rarely use the word medical malpractice because it sounds like there’s something intentional involved in the doctor’s breach in the standard of care. 0:30 Medical Negligence I prefer the term medical negligence because it gives an understanding of the elements of medical negligence are due to breaching the standard of care causation and damages. 0:44 Definition Of Medical Negligence Medical malpractice has a pejorative negative connotation as to somehow adding an element that you don’t have to prove in a medical negligence case, and that is the doctor somehow intended to harm his patient. That’s not an element that ever has to be proved in medical negligence cases. I tend to avoid when possible the term medical malpractice. I think it’s unduly prejudicial to the legal elements. If your family has been affected by medical negligence, you deserve more than just answers—you deserve full and fair compensation.

“What is proof of medical negligence?” is a common question people ask us concerning medical negligence cases. Learn More: What Are The Odds Of Winning A Medical Malpractice Suit? Is Medical Malpractice Difficult To Prove? What Constitutes A Medical Malpractice Lawsuit? Video Transcript Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:10 What Is Proof Of Medical Negligence? 0:28 Proof From An Expert Witness 1:04 Forms Of Proof 0:10 What Is Proof Of Medical Negligence? The question is what constitutes proof of medical negligence? In order to prevail in medical negligence cases, you’ve got to show that the doctorate of duty of the patient number one, number two there was a breach in the standard of care, number three is causation, number four damages. But those are just words. 0:28 Proof From An Expert Witness The proof as to all of those elements generally can only come from expert witnesses. Every court decides what evidence will go to a jury. A plumber cannot testify as to what constitutes negligence in doing a colon removal, colectomy because he doesn’t have any expertise in that area. He may be able to testify in a plumbing case, but not in a medical malpractice case. 1:04 Forms Of Proof Proof can only come in the form of documents, in the form of live testimony or evidence depositions, which can be videotaped, certain kinds of documents like medical records, and only under certain circumstances, medical literature. Those can be introduced in an attempt to prove that the doctor breached the standard of care. That is to say, he or she did not do what a recent careful doctor would do or did something that no reasonably careful doctor would do or admitted something that they should have done. That can only come generally from one of those sources. The testimony of a patient as to what the doctor should have done is generally not allowed, but the judge. Frankly to allow such testimony would probably be reversed on an appeal. When it comes to whether the negligence was the proximate cause of the damages, the injuries, that again requires expert testimony, expert witnesses, certain circumstances, medical literature, or other kinds of literature, and certain kinds of exhibits. Of course, the same thing is going to apply to some parts of the damages, not pain and suffering. People can testify to their pain and suffering, and disability and inability to do the things that they could do before, enjoy, a loss of normal value of life. People can testify to those things, but to the cost of medical care or what additional medical care might be necessary for the future, and what the value the cost of that is ten years from now, those all require expert witnesses. Usually, doctors that are physiatrists, rehabilitation experts, and economists are to the value. It’s one of the reasons that makes these cases so difficult to win because it’s so easy to confuse the waters, muddy the waters for jurors who have no personal expertise in these areas. Once again, you have a question, I’d be happy to answer those questions if I can. I’ll give you my honest assessment.

What should you do if you suspect your child has developmental delays a.k.a. delayed milestones? You’re in the right place if you want to know the answer to that question. Learn More: What Should You Do If You Suspect Brain Injury During Labor? What is HIE? – Birth Asphyxia (Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy) What is Birth Injury? – Birth Injury Overview Video Transcript Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:13 Understanding Delayed Milestones 1:03 Developmental Concerns 1:57 Sensitive Areas To Decreased Oxygen 0:13 Understanding Delayed Milestones Hello everyone, this is Dr. Franҫois Blaudeau, with LawMD.  I’m here today to talk to you about developmental delays – what that is, and why it’s important to have some understanding of what you can do if all of a sudden, you realize that your baby may have delayed milestones. You may have had a hard labor and you may have had some suspicion that maybe the baby didn’t get enough oxygen during the course of the labor. But after the baby was born, the baby seemed to get better. Doctors told you, “Hey, we’ve done some imaging, and we don’t see any issue and we think the baby’s probably going to be fine.” You drop it at that point, and you just get on with loving and taking care of your baby. 1:03 Developmental Concerns And then months later, maybe all of a sudden, the baby hasn’t met milestones. And when you go to the pediatrician, the baby’s not crawling at the right time, or the baby’s difficulty struggling to stand and walk, or the baby’s having difficulty with its word-formation or other fundamental milestones. If that happens, and you think there’s a potential that the baby is really having developmental delays, then you need to take the baby to a pediatric neurologist, get an MRI done, and see if there’s any delayed effect from a birth injury. That’s very important. MRI scanning nowadays is sensitive enough that it can pick up mild changes in the areas of the brain that are more susceptible to decreased oxygen during labor. So, you can have a hypoxic or decreased oxygen event during the course of the labor or the course of the delivery, they can affect certain parts of the brain while most of the brain does okay. 1:57 Sensitive Areas to Decreased Oxygen And those parts of the brain more sensitive to decreased oxygen, they may have mild injury that may or may not recover. In those cases that where they don’t recover, it can be really subtle, that becomes more prominent over time and usually, it’s first diagnosed as developmental delays. At LawMD we encourage you if you think you had a hard labor and your child is starting to show some developmental delays, please get your child evaluated by a pediatric neurologist. Get MRI testing done in the brain. If there’s evidence of an Ischemic oxygen deficient-related injury, then reach out to LAWMD and let us help you look at the records and see if the standard of care was met or not met, whether the injury could have been avoided or not, so that we can help your baby get the additional resources that baby will need to be successful in its life.

What are the chances that you’ve done a medical malpractice case that you’re going to win or lose? That’s a question that virtually every client asks me, and I will tell you that statistically when doctor’s go to trial, they win eighty percent of the cases. 0:26 Winning A Medical Malpractice Suit: Percentage Of Case Wins vs. Losses Eighty percent of the cases, they win and that’s because jurors are just reluctant to find the doctor negligent. All too often, it’s due to expert witnesses who confuse the jurors because the defendants can get anybody to testify on their behalf. They’re doctors. There is a white coat conspiracy of silence. Of course, if the defendant is a doctor, he’s going to testify on his own behalf. The plaintiff has to hire an expert as well. Patients are not allowed to testify as to why the doctor was negligent, only somebody with similar training can do so, the court determines that. 1:11 Reality Of Winning Your Case The reality is these are very difficult cases to win. I will tell you in my career, those numbers are reversed. 1:22 Dr. Chessick’s Record In the length of my career, we have prevailed with a verdict or settlement in about eighty percent of cases we’ve taken. I will tell you that part of the reason is of course my qualifications, training, and experience background in medical malpractice. There’s another side to it too. I don’t take a case that I don’t think we’re going to win. Frankly, I think we should win every case I take because they are all meritorious, and they should win. But these are difficult cases to win, and doctors have definite advantages when it comes to these cases. Nonetheless, I, unfortunately, have lots of cases that meet my criteria. I’d be happy to discuss your case and tell you what I think and give you my honest assessment. Costs you nothing unless we take the case and we’ll cover on your behalf.

Video Transcript Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:08Do I Have A Medical Malpractice Case? – What Is The Attorney Taking On? 0:35 Criteria Cases Should Include 0:08 Do I Have A Medical Malpractice Case? – What Is The Attorney Taking On? Question is… What is the attorney’s interest in prosecuting a medical malpractice case? I’m going to speak personally on this because I feel strongly about it. When I take a medical malpractice case, it has to meet several criteria in addition to the ones of breach of standard of care,  causation, and damages. 0:35 Cases Should Include To me and all the physician attorneys at LawMD, it should be a clear-cut negligent act or omission. It has to be something that frankly offends me because I’m passionate about holding negligent doctors accountable for injuries they cause to the innocent victims who are their patients. For me to take a case, it has to be clear-cut negligence that I feel is not just an error in judgment, but is a clear violation of what no other physician would possibly do. The other thing is for me and in my practice, the client has to have substantial, often catastrophic life-changing injuries. These are the people I want to use my talent and my many years of experience, not only as an attorney but also as a physician to benefit them, their children, and their families. I take all these cases personally. I form a relationship with my clients and an affection for a vast majority of them. These folks deserve the knowledge and training that I spent my lifetime accumulating, and I want them to get justice. I’m not going to be able to reverse their injuries, but I sure am going to make their life a little bit easier after those injuries. For me really, it’s an act of passion. Yes, we get paid, and we get paid handsomely without a doubt. But these are expensive cases to prosecute, and fees are generally set by law. While the money is important, for me, it’s more than that. There has been an injustice done, a wrong done. When a patient comes to me as a doctor, and remember I’m a surgeon, they’re telling me I’m going to let you open my body with a sharp knife, and I’m going to trust you, and I’m going to believe in you, and I know you’re going to act in a reasonably careful fashion. When a doctor violates the standard of care, especially in an egregious fashion, that really angers me. I want to use that passion to help these people because after all, that’s what I devoted my entire career to doing. If you think you have a case, I’d be happy to talk to you, and tell you what I think, and give you my honest opinion. There may be that there is no negligence, but if there is, I will tell you that too.

Video Transcript Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:19 Signs And Symptoms Of Intracranial Hemorrhage The signs and symptoms of intracranial hemorrhage frequently occur soon after the baby is born. 0:19 Signs And Symptoms Of Intracranial Hemorrhage These signs and symptoms of intracranial hemorrhage can include seizures, where the baby is moving its limbs synchronously and the way in which they should not be moving their limbs is important to notice as well. These seizures can occur any time in the first days of life, and they frequently do not indicate that the baby is going to be damaged, but sometimes they do and they can be treated with medication. Another thing that babies can get is they can be very very listless, not moving hardly at all. Sometimes these babies can get very very low blood pressure and need to have medication to raise the blood pressure. There are serious things that can happen to babies that indicate that there might be an intracranial bleed. If these symptoms occur, then we can do various tests to determine whether there is a bleed and what is the size of the bleed, and this helps us to figure out what we need to do both short-term and long-term for the baby. It also helps us as neonatologists to be able to talk to the parents and the grandparents and tell them what we’re dealing with and what to expect. Anybody who has a baby in a newborn intensive care unit should expect that kind of conversation from their doctors.

Video Transcript Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:55 Failure to Diagnose a Condition: Diagnosis 1:09 Prostate-Specific Antigen Failure to diagnose is the most common cause of medical malpractice litigation. A fair diagnosis is usually a breach in the standard of care. That is to say a failure of the doctor to do something that a recent careful doctor would do, and that means that you can be talking about a whole variety of different kinds of medical conditions. Failure to diagnose cancer results in a substantial delay in the diagnosis and the treatments of lung cancer. You know, I’m going to use that as an example. The patient comes in, says I’ve got a history of smoking and is coughing up blood. 0:55 Failure to Diagnose a Condition: Timely Diagnosis Well, that might be due to bronchitis but it also might be due to lung cancer. To delay six months or a year on a case like with lung cancer really can be the difference between survival and death. 1:09 Common Types of Negligence: Prostate-Specific Antigen I’ve seen patients come in and they get routine blood tests for prostate cancer, PSA, and a patient comes in with a sky-high PSA and the doctor either doesn’t look at the blood test or he doesn’t appreciate the significance of it being abnormal, and it isn’t repeated until the patient starts urinating blood, and then finally six months or a year later he gets an investigation and lo and behold he’s got prostate cancer, which is now spread to the lymph nodes or the lung or the liver and is incurable. Those are classic examples of failure to diagnose cases. Frankly, they are the most common ones. Almost all of them involve breaches in the standard of care and damages because they suffered a heart attack or impending death and if the adequate time went by that then unfortunately they lost the opportunity to cure that cancer.

Watch the video below to learn more about the average payout of medical negligence cases. Learn More What Is The Difference Between Medical Malpractice And Medical Negligence? Is Failure to Diagnose a Form of Medical Negligence? What Is Proof Of Medical Negligence? Video Transcript Timestamps 0:00 Intro 1:22 Compensatory Damages 2:17 Compensatory Damages Continued The question is what is the average payout in a medical negligence case, and it varies. Obviously the greater the injury, the more elements of damages that can be proven, the larger amounts that jurors will award because jury’s award compensation to patients as to how long they have suffered in the past, but also up to the time of trial, but also how long they are likely to live. The longer you live, the greater the damages are going to be for medical negligence cases. There are no punitive damages in medical malpractice cases, even on intentional or reckless behavior. Most laws protect the doctors so that they will never be subject to punitive damages. So the only thing we’re talking about in medical malpractice cases are what’s called compensatory damages, and that’s a juror or jury I should say, awarding damages for specific elements of damage or injuries. 1:22 The Average Payout For Medical Negligence: Compensatory Damages Those areas are to be pain and suffering, they could be a disability, inability to do things that they used to be able to do, inability to enjoy the pleasurable aspects of life. I’m a tennis player and while I’ve never won a dollar playing tennis, it would be a really big deal if I couldn’t play tennis. Of course, there’s lost wages and then there’s the cost of medical care, both in the past and in the future. Those are the categories that the law allows and permits juries to consider in the area of damages. 2:17  Compensatory Damages Continued In my practice, I tend to only take cases where there’s been egregious negligence, that really rankly offends me, that raises my ire and my passion, but also, it has to have major catastrophic and life-changing damages. In my practice, frankly, the average payout is seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars up to 15-18 million. It depends on the kind of case.

Video Transcript Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:16 Failure to Diagnose Chronic Health Conditions: Chronic Conditions 2:17 Failure To Diagnose Chronic Health Conditions:  Diagnosis I was asked a question about the failure to diagnose chronic health conditions, specifically failure to diagnose diabetes cases. 0:16 Failure To Diagnose Chronic Health Conditions: Chronic Conditions These would be conditions such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, which essentially translates into high cholesterol for lack of a better term. You could add chronic obstructive lung disease, which is essentially emphysema that we see in many long-term smokers. These are illnesses that aren’t like a catastrophic auto accident, a very aggressive cancer, or a trauma sustained through a fall or other accident. These are chronic health issues that arise generally either as a consequence of bad luck, genetics, and sometimes related to lifestyle. Diabetes is frequently family linked, although I can be related to significant obesity, chronic obstructive lung disease is usually smoking-related, and high cholesterol is to some degree genetic, but also related to how much fat you take in your diet. They cause problems generally only when they’ve seen ignored over a long period of time. It’s a two-sided issue because the doctor has to make the initial diagnosis, and the patient thereafter has to also participate aggressively in their own treatment. You have to treat diabetes daily, the same typically with high cholesterol, and the same with chronic obstructive lung disease. The key is for doctors to keep an eye on the labs. Doctors should keep an eye on pulmonary function in the case of long-term smokers, keep an eye on the diet of your patient and be sure your blood sugars are checked regularly if you’re diabetic. 2:17  Diagnosis The doctor’s chief responsibility is going to be making a timely diagnosis. If you go to see a physician and you have sugar in your urine or perhaps your blood sugar is high or you have an elevated hemoglobin, A1c in the case of diabetes, and you’re not made aware of this di ease for a prolonged period and you suffer damages related to those symptoms, there too you may have a case. Probably, more importantly, is as a patient, be sure to always, always continue your treatment. It demands a lot of dedication, you have to stay with the program, and be sure you see your doctor. If you or your loved one has been permanently or seriously injured due to the failure of your doctors in diagnosing diabetes of a common health condition such as diabetes, emphysema, or high cholesterol contact the Medical-Legal team at LawMD.
