Deposition of Nurse in Medical Malpractice Case

This is the deposition of a nurse expert witness in a medical malpractice lawsuit. Our client was a 49-year-old man who went to the emergency room after injuring his knee and leg. Doctors at the emergency department did diagnostic testing - x-rays - and diagnosed him with a knee sprain. They send him on his with and made sparse and unremarkable notations in his medical records. He was sent home. Two days later, he rushed back to the ER. The doctors ultimately have to amputate his leg. Our lawsuit alleged the doctors failed to discover damage to his popliteal artery in his initial ER visit. We brought the medical malpractice lawsuit against the ER doctors (and a PA) in Baltimore City. After a hard-fought trial, the jury awarded our client $5.2 million. The client, a very good man, was kind enough to allow us to share depositions from his case to help educate others.
