If you think the invisibility cloak JK Rowling created for Harry Potter was effective, you should see the one #ChronicPain patients are given when they show up in an emergency room… it makes their complaints, signs, and symptoms completely unnoticeable and unimportant. 😳😳😳@jk_rowling

This week we resolved the case of a young asthmatic man who came to Vegas for his 18th birthday. We allege he died after paramedics mismanaged his asthma attack, leading to severe acidosis, cardiac arrest, and death. (AI Image) #AirwayFirst #ACLS #EMSMalpractice

These driverless cars are all over Las Vegas now. Still seems strange to look over and see nobody in the vehicle. This one had no driver and no passengers.

Great result for our client, a young man who underwent completely unnecessary open heart surgery (with complications) after his CT scan was allegedly misread by a radiologist. #MedicalMalpractice #TrialByJury

Most of our hospitals are owned by out of state, for profit corporations. We’re making Nevada healthcare safer and better, one case at a time! Laird Law PC 702 800-0300!

Decubitus ulcers (bedsores) rarely happen in the absence of negligence. In Nevada nursing homes, CNAs sometimes have 25 or 30 patients each. We deserve better!

A CNA should not have more than 7 patients.

Lung cancer screening saves lives. Sadly, Nevada fails miserably at lung cancer screening for those who are eligible. We deserve better!

Every year, Nevadans fill about 33 million prescriptions in retail pharmacies. At least 1.5 % are dispensed wrong. Thats 500,000 misfills in Nevada every year. If you’ve been injured by a careless pharmacy in Las Vegas or Reno, please call Laird Law 702 800-0300. #WrongMed #WrongDose #WrongPatient #PharmacyMalpractice

Practical steps when you discover a misfill: 1. Seek medical help if you took or used the med, 2. File a formal complaint with the NV State Board of Pharmacy; they WILL investigate 3. Do NOT give the med back to the pharmacy 4. Do not accept anything as compensation (like a coupon for a $3 off your next purchase) 5. Call Laird Law 702 800-0300.

Pope Leo XIV has said his doctors have found “a localized nodule” in his lung and will operate in a few days. Speaking at the Angelus on Sunday, he said the nodule was “detected at a very early stage and is well localized.” The Pope added that his doctors recommend surgery and that he will follow their advice, with the surgery scheduled for the coming days. Pope Leo thanked everyone for their spiritual closeness and entrusted himself to our prayers. “Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, doctors found a localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well localized. The doctors believe surgery is appropriate. Following their advice, I have therefore decided to undergo an operation to remove it. The operation is already scheduled for the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.” vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/…

Yes, the American Board of Anesthesiology also has a prohibition against its diplomats participating in lethal injection. They state they will revoke board certification of anyone who participates. I suspect the prohibition would not withstand a legal challenge because lethal injection is legal, at least in some states. It would be analogous to revoking certification for physicians who disagree with the ABA board members on some political issue. There’s an argument that physician participation would make it more humane. Although I’m opposed to capital punishment, I acknowledge that reasonable people can disagree.

Today is the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi. It’s also my late mother’s birthday. May she rest in peace. Beautiful church service this morning by a Franciscan priest, with the mass intention for my mom.

Ugh, the botched execution of Christa Pike is horrific on multiple levels. I’m old enough to remember when another barbiturate, sodium thiopental, was the induction agent of choice for general anesthesia. It could cause severe tissue necrosis when it leaked outside the vein. Many of the barbiturates, including pentobarbital, cause tissue necrosis when there is extravasation from the vein into the subcutaneous tissues. The State has managed to turn an evil murderess into a victim…

Another characteristic of extravasated barbiturate is that the absorption is slow enough that it doesn’t reliably make the patient unconscious.
