by chrisgoode | May 11, 2022 | Injuries, Medical Malpractice

Most Common Hospital Infections in Kentucky

by chrisgoode | Apr 27, 2022 | Injuries, Medical Malpractice

Common Infant Brain Injuries in Lexington

by chrisgoode | Mar 18, 2022 | Medical Malpractice

The average newborn baby in Kentucky weighs about seven pounds. That’s not much heavier than a two-liter bottle of soda. So, during birth, if a doctor uses enough force on a baby’s head to unscrew the top of a Coke bottle, that pressure could cause a permanent brain...

A Closer Look at Anesthesia Negligence

by Goode Law Office, PLLC | May 26, 2021 | Medical Malpractice

Birth Injuries: Does the HELPERR Mnemonic Really Help?

by Goode Law Office, PLLC | Apr 19, 2021 | Medical Malpractice

The HELPERR mnemonic, which is examined below, helps doctors and nurses deal with shoulder dystocia emergencies. If the baby is too big to drift through the mother’s narrow birth canal, the umbilical cord could essentially strangle the baby in about five minutes....

What is Medical Malpractice?

On Behalf of Goode Law Office, PLLC | Jan 15, 2021 | Medical Malpractice

In this context, “malpractice” is another word for “negligence,” which is a lack of care. Doctors, lawyers, accountants, and most other professionals generally have a fiduciary duty. Physicians undergo years of training and patients usually have no medical knowledge...

Obtaining Compensation in a Nursing Home Bedsore Claim

by chrisgoode | Jan 6, 2021 | Medical Malpractice, Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect
