fraud or just not nice?
Ah, another case of when emotions rule... If the dentist files on the father's insurance and insurance sends the payment to the father it seems only logical that the dentist's billing is being paid by the father's insurance which makes the "not in the network" claim a bunch of baloney. Mom...- ellencee

Nerve Damage Causing Foot Drop after Total Hip Replacement
I sincerely doubt that anything went wrong in the OR and I sincerely doubt you signed a consent to have surgery without having had the risk explained to you or without reading the consent which states that by signing you agree that you have received an explanation of the risks.

Nerve Damage Causing Foot Drop after Total Hip Replacement
So, what did you think the risks of paralysis meant? You seem to be an intelligent person so you obviously knew and understood the risks of the surgery and made the decision to take those risks in hopes that your hip would stop hurting. Now that you find yourself in the 2% of patients who...- ellencee

Nerve Damage Causing Foot Drop after Total Hip Replacement
You signed a consent for surgery and in doing so, you attested to having received information about the risks of the surgery and consenting to the surgery with understanding of the risks.

Medical Malpractice
There is no negligence and no one is going to provide any prenatal care at this stage of pregnancy. The first appointment after confirmation of pregnancy is usually at the end or near the end of the third month. A high risk pregnancy is a pregnancy with a viable fetus or a fetus very close...- ellencee

overdrugged elderly?

MS mis-diagnosis

Part of the legal aspect of this is whether or not the surgeon knew or should have known that the patient had pancreatitis before removing the gallbladder.

ENASNI Hey--there's nothing wrong with the moist method of healing a burn or cut or most any other open wound. If you are not covering the silvadene with a dressing, you should be.
