Don't Doctors Just Stick Together? (How Do I Get Other Doctors to Testify Against My Doctor if it is a Clear Case of Negligence?)PART 3 OF 3



 3. The Need For Medical Testimony From Your Treating Doctors.

Up until now we have only been discussing the "proof of negligence" part of your lawsuit. However there is an equally important part of your suit: the "proof of damages" part.

If you suffer from RSD it may have taken your doctors a while to diagnose it. Many RSD sufferers may have started with an orthopedist or even a family doctor following a traumatic injury that may have seemed minor at the time. If you developed RSD as a result of negligent medical care you may have had post-surgery visits with a neurologist or neurosurgeon.

By the time you are diagnosed with RSD you are likely under the care of an Anesthesiologist / Pain Management doctor. Lawyer help in Georgia. You may also be under the care of a Physical Rehabilitation Medicine Doctor. Over the course of your care you will likely be treated by Physical Therapists. You may also followed by a Psychiatrist. Frankly, the list of doctors an RSD sufferer may see before finally identifying a doctor familiar with RSD can seem endless.

Once you are under a competent doctor's care for treatment of your RSD your doctor may have identified a long list of treatment modalities including prescription medications, Stellate Ganglion Blocks, Ketamine or a trial of a Spinal Cord Stimulator or an Intrathecal Pain Pump.

Whatever the treatment you have received following your diagnosis of RSD it is likely to have involved several doctors and a long course of attempts at different treatment options.

Because our brain determines our personality and our behaviors, a brain injury survivor may seem like an entirely different person after the accident. Brain injury may not be readily obvious to outside observers, and the brain injury survivor may be thought to have mental illness or to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Traumatic Brain Injury survivors usually experience rapidly changing moods and behaviors that they cannot control.

  It seems as if high school football has been in the news quite a bit lately, as football-related concussion awareness is at an all time high. President Barack Obama recently commented that even though he is a fan of football, if he had a son, he would have to think long and hard before allowing him to play. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in Atlanta, Georgia says that sports concussions have reached epidemic proportions.
