If you have a client with low back pain from a MIST case, you should read these reports. A study from the American College of Physicians and American Pain Society and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine talks about several areas of interest:
1. Diagnosis and Treatment;
2. Nonpharmacological therapies; and
3. medications.
There is some great information here. As an attorney representing people with these injuries, you need to make sure that you understand the medicine. You need to explain it to your client and be able to explain it, most importantly, to the jury. A good adjuster will know it, and you need to know it too.
When something has gone wrong with your treatment, naturally the first thing on your mind is to find out what happened and what can be done to minimise the damage. Unfortunately this is often not as simple as it sounds, because when errors occur medical professionals will usually start to become vague and imponderable. This is when you will need to consult a medical negligence solicitor, in order to cut through the defensive smoke screens...
