Pensacola Personal Injury Lawyer is a weblog, or blog, edited by Robert Blanchard of the Pensacloa law firm Levin, Papantonio, Thomas, Mitchell, Echsner & Proctor, P.A. Mr. Blanchard has chosen medical malpractice; car and truck accidents; worker's compensation; defective drugs and wrongful death as areas of personal injury law on which he would like to post. http://pensacola.injuryboard.com/medical-malpractice/recent-comments/ This is not surprising to me. The less experienced cardio-thoracic surgeons work in charity and teaching hospitals where you find doctors in training. What does surprise me is that so many patients blithely accept the CABG as the first resort in treating CAD. It is the most overprescribed cardiac procedure and fully half the patients that receive them do not need them. Almost three years ago, I was told I neecded an immediate quintuple bypass or would face heart attack stroke or death within three months. Thirty six months later, I am still here after getting a second opinion. http://pensacola.injuryboard.com/medical-malpractice/old-surgeons-not-a-problem.aspx?googleid=208842#C1660 A comment on Old Surgeons Not a Problem Medical Malpractice Medical Malpractice Jeff Brailey Thu, 11 Jan 2007 14:22:54 GMT It is said that mammography is still the best tool for diagnosing breast cancer in MOST women. However, most women leaves a far distance from all women. Example: Dense breast tissue, frequently does not show up on mammography but often nothing else is done. How elementary is it to know that breast density seen on a mammogram could be hiding a tumor but doing nothing further to be certain? Physicians always say it is too expensive to do more tests in case they are negative but what about the one that may be positive? At least let the woman decide if she wants to pay for further testing herself. It could certainly make a huge difference in her life. Wouldn't you want your wife to be given that option??? http://pensacola.injuryboard.com/medical-malpractice/breast-cancer-mis-diagnosis-and-late-diagnosis.aspx?googleid=209468#C1608 A comment on Breast Cancer Mis-Diagnosis and Late Diagnosis Medical Malpractice Medical Malpractice Susan H Sat, 23 Dec 2006 15:44:26 GMT
