Transcript:
My name is Turner Howard, I’m an attorney in Knoxville Tennessee. And let me share with you a case that we had early on in our practice. It’s a medical malpractice case. And it’s a sad case, but it’s a case where we pushed forward very hard to make sure that the surviving family got a good and fair resolution to their case.

It turns out that a woman, mother of two daughters who had been a life long nurse and a life long smoker presents to her primary care provider for a routine checkup. He takes x-rays and notices on one of the x-rays a spot in her lung that was suspicious. He unfortunately forgets about that. Places the x-rays back in her chart and some nine or ten month later she calls him back for a revisit and asks him about the x-rays he took some nine or ten months before. At which point he says, opps I forgot about that, come back in right away.

They took more x-rays and this time it was discovered that the spot, the tiny spot some nine or ten months before had spread, was much larger and had spread into her system, though her lymph node system. And then she was basically terminal and she got worse and worse very quickly. Where as before, if they caught it some ten months before she would have been easily healed with the proper techniques. It had now become terminal and her life was going to come to an end.

When the daughters came to use after there mothers had died and consulted with us about what we could do about the matter, we took the case and we did a lot of research on cancer, consulted a lot of experts and then went to work. And flew all over the country taking depositions. We worked very hard on the case because we felt very sorry for not only what their mother had gone though but what the daughters had gone though in watching their mother die in that long painful process.

The bottom line was, in the end we got a very fair and just settlement with quite frankly a whole lot of money for the surviving daughters.
