John, I read your link about the spinal fusion gone bad. I agree. Definite malpractice.
Let me run this one by you:
Experienced obstetrician performs what he thinks is an uncomplicated forceps delivery. Problem: Newborn has complete left facial paralysis. This is a rare but known complication of forceps delivery.
Family hires the services of well known charismatic malpractice lawyer. When the infant is 6 months old, a neurologist performs a MRI scan that shows complete absense of the left facial nerve! There was no injury. The poor kid was born with no facial nerve. The planned expert witness declined to testify for obvious reasons. Undaunted, the lawyer found another "expert" who would refute the MRI findings.
Amazingly, the lawyer won the case! It was reversed on appeal.
Now here is where you and I part ways, John. For intentionally misleading a jury, I believe the lawyer should be disbarred.
