May 18, 2013 at 12:48 am #Medicalmalpractice #healthcare #lawsuits #medical error #tortreform - Great article discussing how medical malpractice lawsuits can actually help improve patient care. The information was learned from interviews with hospital risk managers. We need to get to a point when we realize we all want the same goal, safer, affordable healthcare! Right now, "[e]ach year tens of thousands of people die, and hundreds of thousands more are injured, as a result of medical error." This needs to change and the courthouse doors need to be open to those who are harmed by medical errors!

Shameful! The Seventh Amendment is supposed to protect this right to a trial by jury! Legislators have no right to take it away!
When a surgeon operated on the wrong side of a Missouri woman’s skull, her only recourse was the court system. So why are Missouri lawmakers trying to take away that right? http://bit.ly/132A8Fx

Clearly claims are not keeping rates high for doctor's insurance! We need a change in the law in California!
Think medical malpractice insurance rates are too high? You are not alone. While companies take premiums from doctors & hospitals, they don’t have to pay much out in claims due to CA’s outdated cap on malpractice awards. http://buswk.co/12dnwuh

The femur is the largest and strongest bone in the body; it is the bone that extends from the hip to the knee. The femur is difficult to break and requires significant force. Femoral shaft fractures and most commonly occur from high speed car crashes or significant falls.
The most common treatment for a femoral shaft fracture is the surgical placement of a metal rod down the center of the thigh bone, reconnecting the two ends of the bone and is secured with screws both above and below the fracture. The rod will generally remain in the patient for the rest of his or her life. Other less commonly used treatments of a femur fracture include a plate and screws or an external fixator. These treatment options may have to be used if a rod cannot be used for some reason.
Pain management is also important for the treatment of these types of fractures. Patients often take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen, acetaminophen and/or opioids.
Following any surgery, the patient will need fairly extensive physical therapy. This therapy will be necessary to help reduce stiffness and restore movement in the injured leg. The therapy may take several months for complete healing.
