The docs do hope that the 'urgency' of the situation just plays out, and then they don't really NEED to get involved. If Allan is fine, there is no reason for her to get involved, unless you want a new infusion or home nursing service. There are legally no damages, regardless of what happened...and thank God for that. You don't want damage.

Yes, doctors do, do this type of stuff. Not all, but some. I have seen some brutal stuff.

I fractured my sternoclavicular joint in a high speed head on...it is only a high impact injury. They did not find it for a year...only after I insisted a CT scan be run because I had pain and a weird bump. After that they referred me half way across the country for a specialist to look at it, and he said basically he couldn't guarantee a surgical repair any more at that late date, and it was too close to the heart to wire shut, as wires migrate.

OK, so then what does the *^%$# do at deposition....He says he has no idea how it could happen and that it could happen from a fall on an outstretched arm.....Never in recorded history has something like that happened in a young woman! Why did he say that?? If he said it was from my accident, he implicated himself in medical negligence, so he sold me down the river...
the *#$%. This guy was supposed to be an acclaimed local orthopedic traumatologist...now he works on feet. What I had was a life threatening injury, I could have died, and still could from it, as my collar bone is completely unattached at my sternum! It shredded both the anterior and posterior ligaments, smashed the meniscus, and tore off 5 pieces of bone from the sternum, that are just kind of sitting in there. For the grace of God it did not for some reason sever the arteries on the right side of my chest near my heart. I guess my job here was not done. In not knowing the severity of my injury, I ended up rehabing the arm myself, but it still hurts in my cheat and neck quite badly at times.

I could not prove my devastating injury was from my head on accident. And can you imagine that happening from a fall on an outstretched arm??? If so, maybe a fall from a 40 story building!! Not to mention, the guy who hit me, was on his 4th accident in 2 years, and his insurance company hired private detectives that followed us for years, including getting to my 5 year old son at school!!

So that is how dirty and how nasty systems can be! And this is too darn sick to make up.

BTW I had a seat belt on, but this preceeded air bags.
