James V. Painter Successfully Defends Plastic Surgeon in Medical Malpractice Claim
February 8th, 2012
Augusta, GA (PRWEB) February 06, 2012
In 2006 the plaintiffs spouse sustained a chemical burn to his lower leg and foot while at work. During the first visit to the operating room Hull Barretts client excised the dead tissue and put cadaver skin over the burn. After several post operation days the client felt the wound was not healing and after consultation with the patient a grafting procedure was performed. The patient died post-surgery and a wrongful death suit was filed. (Case Number: 2008RCCV01821)
James V. Painter led the successful defense of the client against the plaintiffs claim that her husband lost his life due to the clients alleged failure to obtain an appropriate patient history; failure to evaluate the specific and increased risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism; and failure to treat the patient with measures to decrease the risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Mr. Painter filed a Motion to Dismiss showing through expert witnesses that the standard of care was met in the treatment of the patient. Expert witnesses who were deposed recognized this as an exceptionally rare case and noted that the clot most likely was not formed from the surgery and therefore prophylaxis would not have changed the unfortunate outcome. The motion also was based upon an assertion that Plaintiffs expert witness was not qualified to give opinions as to the standard of care applicable to the client. According to court documents, the expert was not qualified under O.C.G.A.

February 6th, 2012
Question by jaengee84: Does anyone know of a good global medical insurance plan for a traveler?
I am a US citizen married to a Korean national with a daughter who has dual citizenship who is visiting the US currently. Our residence is in Korea. Does anyone know of a good company that provides medical insurance for a family like mine for a good rate? Any help would be appreciated.
Best answer:
Answer by Insurance Pickle.com
Yes, I have links to 3 different companies on my site. It might be slighltly tricky since you are a citizen and are here currently. So, it’ll depend on how long you’re staying here and/or you may have to do separate plans.
