@jrwinger My only med mal experience has been on the plaintiff side, for a family member some years ago, and I’m not a litigator, so I can’t understand why releasing a patient with patent angina would avoid liability. I know the ER is required by law to treat whoever presents at their door, and at least get them stable enough for transfer if they don’t want to keep the patient themselves. That contingency fee sounds reasonable to me, in my (limited) experience.

@jrwinger @darulharb I worked for a med malpractice firm. The plaintiff’s firm always takes the case on contingency. They only take cases that have merit.So very sorry for your family’s loss.

@rarity @jrwinger Indeed. That's how most plaintiff's firms work in the civil courts, whether medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, or personal injury. They pick the cases they think they can make back the money and time they put into it. Firms often specialize, developing expertise in the kinds of evidence used, and a stable of expert witnesses to call on.In my relative's case, the firm had a nurse practitioner review the charts before they decided to take it.

@darulharb @jrwinger I worked for a defense firm, reviewing the hospital records and doing the initial interviews of likely defendants and witnesses. I learned early on when the facts were being covered up…and the hospital always had to be advised.Often hospitals are aware before a suit is brought. I imagine that in JR’s family’s case, they’re well aware of this terrible outcome.

@rarity And they're definitely aware when they get a HIPAA release form from a plaintiffs' firm.

@CClark @jrwingerSame. My ex went to several doctors for back & leg pain; they all sent him home with pain killers. The last doctor examined him & immediately sent him up to the neurosurgeon in the building. After a short exam he (Gov Spitzer's brother, lol) sent ex to hospital & performed spinal surgery that night for cauda equina syndrome. It causes serious, permanent paralysis if not immediately corrected. Ex recovered, but likely wouldn't have if he hadn't sought further treatment. Scary.

@CClark @jrwinger I just remembered what Dr. Spitzer said to us right before surgery when my husband asked if he would ever be able to get an erection again. Dr. Doom (our name for him, lol) stared at him and said, "It's possible you may never be able to walk again and have to learn to catheterize yourself every time you need to empty your bladder. The last thing you should be worried about now is your pecker!"We were both stunned, but he was right. BTW, all functions eventually returned.
