Pain Pump Lawsuits
Dec 13, 2008 Health, Legal Issues, Medical Procedure, Surgery
There are a number of persons who are presently suffering severe pain and in some cases loss of mobility in their shoulder after performing arthroscopic shoulder surgery and receiving pain pumps that are used to aid in the recovery process. The pain pump is good only to the extent that it delivers the right dose of medicine to help the patient recover quicker. But a recent study found out that the pain pump seems to give the patient too much medicine which in turn destroys cartilage located within the shoulder joint. This in effect this leads to a painful condition known as Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis, or PAGCL. The end result of PAGCL is permanent pain in the shoulder and loss of mobility. Interestingly, the same study shows that this condition only occurs in patients who “… received a shoulder pain pump filled with bupivacaine and epinephrine during their surgery.” Other studies also imply that approximately 63% of persons who perform arthroscopic shoulder surgery and receive a pain pump after the operation may develop PAGCL.

“Who’s your daddy?” or “Who’s your momma?” are two questions that we have heard many times in movies and even on the street. Those are valid questions because there are many persons in the world today who do not know their mother or father, even though they may still be alive. But what we see happening now more than ever is that many fathers, in particular, are disowning their child or children in an attempt to evade paying child support. This dangerous trend has left many mothers in dire straights, finding it very hard to care for the children on their own. As such, many have been forced to bring the father of the child to court. Most deny being the father, in which case the judge orders that DNA testing be carried out so as to validate that the child indeed belongs to the man that the mothers says is the child’s father.
There are a number of centers that perform Paternity DNA Testing, a well known one being the DNA Diagnostics Center (DDC). It is the world leader in Private DNA Testing, boasting the most experienced DNA testing team.
