Burned

Guest
Overexposed to PUVA treatment by five minutes resulting in 1, 2 & 3rd degree burns. Negligent post-care. Never seen by the dermatologist (not even initial assessment). No informed consent. Obtained medical records, including from burn unit physician. Took photos and wrote time-log. Seen by primary care physician. Medical literature supports alarming situation. Think an attorney should retain ME for this case.

Have so far learned that we have two years to take action and that there is no cap on awards in Arizona. If curious, a little bit like tanning booths, "PUVA" is a photo-radiation ultraviolet light therapy with strict protocols and standards requiring ongoing, careful monitoring by a specialist in dermatology. Fitzpatrick's Dermatology devotes several pages to it, as does several journal articles.

The foundation of this particular medical practice was built on sand. They were not informative, they were not careful, causing serious acute (burns) & long-term (PUVA) injuries, and didn't even administer simple American Red Cross emergency first aid. Instead of apologizing and thinking up ways to help fix things, they actually mocked their victim's pain.

So, how do we get the word out to all those qualified medical malpractice plaintiff litigation attorneys that this is a platinum legal case served on a titanium platter, and that we're accepting resumes and signing bonuses? Or do I call them each one at a time? Reminds me of that commercial with the couple "interviewing" a vast sea of agents sitting at their desks, "next".
