Medical malpractice New York case - A wrong stitch can change your life

In New York there are lots of cases of medical malpractice happening around these

days and one of the incidents related to medical malpractice New York is the case of a boy whose arm was bleeding badly as he put it through a window. The reason behind so much of bleeding was that an artery of his arm was being cut in the accident. The boy was immediately brought to the emergency room where one doctor made efforts to stop bleeding through pressurizing the wound and he succeeded in doing so. This was not enough to treat the patient properly as he had already lost a huge amount of blood on the way between accident spot and the hospital.

When the flow of blood was under control another doctor came and started stitching the wound without paying attention that he is giving a stitch around the Ulnar nerve which was a big mistake as stitches are usually given to bound bleeding vessels such as veins and arteries but not to harm the nerves which are responsible for maintaining proper functioning of the body.

After the stitches were being given the patient felt quite strange as if his arm had been trapped. He complained to the doctor but he consoles him by saying that, "you will get well soon". For some time the boy was taking it as his assumption and neglect the uneasiness which he was feeling in his arm at that time but soon he realizes there must be something wrong in the treatment which he got from the concerned doctor. He started suffering from the pain in his fourth and fifth finger which was getting numb day by day.

Now the boy is worried about the aching he was undergoing from and reached to the hospital where he was treated but he got nothing from there except the disappointment. The doctors said that it is a normal situation which usually people face after such an accident. The fingers were still aching and it was tough to move them so he again goes to consult the doctor about that but he got no response from there. This is a complete negligent act of medical malpractice New York but you must admire the reaction of the boy about this act which is discussed below.

The boy immediately decided to get advice from the talented and skillful surgeon in New York and after the diagnosis the surgeon informed him that the previous doctor has treated him in a wrong way. His Ulnar nerve was getting damaged due to this medical malpractice act committed by the doctor. The previous doctors have stitched the ulnar nerve instead of bleeding vessels and due to lack of oxygen and flow of blood the nerve was damaged. The surgeon told the boy that he would have to go through a surgery and if it will not work then it becomes essential for him to do a nerve transplant. Fortunately the surgery was successful and he did not have to go for the transplant process. This act justifies the title Medical malpractice New York which is a curse to the society.

After 18 months, he again has to face problem with the finger's movement and sensation as this time it was completely damaged just because of the negligence of the doctors. The most shocking fact was that the doctors maintained no record for his treatment so that no body can recognize the fact. At the end the case was settled in favor of the victim with the support of the juries.
