There’s something about a lawyer who can’t talk well that we all like to watch. Lawyers are “supposed” to be able to speak on behalf of their clients, however some lawyers just can’t get it right.

To see how Gerry screws up his words while videotaping his video tips, watch this quick little video. You might just enjoy watching him mess up as much as he does.

Your doctor has told you that you have a torn anterior cruciate ligament in your knee and has recommended arthroscopic surgery in order to repair it. But what does that actually mean?

The knee is one of the most complex and one of the most important joints in your body.

It is made up of bone, ligament and cartilage. Damage to any individual part can dramatically restrict the normal movement of the leg and can even interfere with the ability to walk.
Medical Malpractice
Let’s take a look at the way the knee joint is put together. The femur, or thigh bone, meets the fibula and tibia to create a flexible joint called the knee. Helping to stabilize the knee are the ligaments.

The ligaments in the knee are strong, flexible cords of tissue that hold the bones together. They maintain stability and allow the normal range of motion when you walk or run. The anterior cruciate ligament – or ACL — guides the tibia, or shin bone. It helps keep your feet below your knees and your legs from buckling as you walk.
Medical Malpractice
Twisting or bending the knee during sports or other strenuous activity can damage the ligament.

During an injury, patients often report feeling or even hearing a sudden “pop” in their knee at the exact moment when the ligament tears.

Other symptoms include swelling, restricted movement, pain and even the inability to stand on the affected leg.

Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a Cystoscopy. But what does that actually mean?

The lower urinary tract allows your body to store and release urine.
It’s made up of two parts, the bladder and the urethra. Medical Malpractice

Your bladder is a hollow organ that expands as it fills with urine. Because it is made of muscular tissue, it can also contract and force urine to pass out of the body, through the urethra. Your urethra carries urine from the bladder all the way through the opening in the penis.
Medical Malpractice
Your doctor feels that it is necessary to examine the interior of the urethra and bladder, to try to determine the cause of a problem that you may be having.

Symptoms that may call for a routine Cystoscopy include:

* Persistent infection of the urinary tract
* Bladder stones
* Bleeding while urinating
* Irritation due to polyps, or
* Changes to the bladder caused by cancer.
Medical Malpractice
Cystoscopy is a simple procedure during which your doctor will insert a well-lubricated, instrument called a cystoscope through your urethra and into your bladder.

The cystoscope allows your doctor to visually inspect the interior of your bladder. It also allows your doctor to remove small pieces of tissue for later examination and even to crush small bladder stones, should any be present.
Medical Malpractice
Any tissue that your doctor removes from your bladder will be sent immediately to a laboratory for analysis. Your doctor will ask the laboratory to check for any sign of cancer or other abnormality.

So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.

Then the surgeon will use a gloved hand to conduct a vaginal examination and will check the size and location of the uterus by pressing on your lower abdomen.
Your doctor will then use a retractor to open the vagina.
Once the cervix is visible, a forceps is used to grasp the front lip of the cervix …
and to pull it forward – causing the uterus to open.
Through that opening, your doctor will insert an instrument called a hysteroscope.
A hysteroscope allows the surgical team to insert all necessary optical and surgical instruments into the uterus. Medical Malpractice
At the beginning of the procedure, a harmless gas or fluid will be introduced into the uterus, causing it to expand.
By inflating the uterus slightly, your doctor is better able to reach the operative site.
Next, a wire loop is inserted. This loop is used to grab the fibroid tissue and snip it free from the muscular wall of the uterus. Medical Malpractice
When your doctor is satisfied that all fibrous tissue has been removed,
the hysteroscope and all other instruments are withdrawn. The gas or fluid is allowed to escape …
and the uterus returns to its normal shape.

You get to see where I spend most of my day when I’m in my office. In addition, I show you some of the lighting equipment I use to create my videos.

Come on in and take a look at my office.

As a lawyer who’s handled medical malpractice and negligence court cases in New York, you learn one thing very quickly. Unfortunately in this country, the practice of medicine has become a business and too many people dont get the care that theyre supposed to get. And its not only doctors who do something wrong. Very often its just endemic to our system, its part of our system. You have hospitals that cant handle the load. And as New York malpractice lawyers, we had a case once and Im convinced to this day, it was a case involving a child who was brain damaged, at birth, and Im convinced to this day that that occurred because the hospital was just too busy and didnt have an experienced doctor on the floor to make the decisions that have to be made regarding the delivery of that child. I handled that medical malpractice and negligence court case for many years. What was interesting about it, to me, and something that you know, maybe its important why clients should think of this firm, is what we did when we handled that case. Because back then, this firm was a different kind of firm and we didnt do our own medical malpractice cases. We allowed other New York malpractice lawyers to do it. And we brought in people who I considered experts. The reason, by the way, that I did that, is back then I didnt consider us great, yet, at medical malpractice. And I wasnt going to do it unless I was great at it. So I gave it out to people who I considered great. And no one wanted the case. Everybody told me, Theres no case here. And I just looked at it and I said, Somethings wrong, that cant be right. Its just not right. I took the medical malpractice and negligence court case. I handled it myself. We went through all the discovery and I remember we got to a point actually where it was time to find a doctor, to come into court to testify. And I was having the darnedest time. I couldnt get a doctor to testify. I finally found one doctor that was willing to be helpful, but not in the specialty I needed. And he helped me find another doctor. And eventually the medical malpractice case did come to court and I got the client a very nice settlement.

I remember why I actually go that case settled. I was standing there in the court house and the lawyer was coming up to me and arguing with me. They didnt want to settle the case with me, which sometimes happens in medical malpractice cases. And I turned to them and I just looked at them. And I said to them, Listen, Ive been preparing this case for years. You really dont want to get me started. You really dont want to get me started. This child is brain damaged and make no mistake about it, at the end of this trial, I am going to win. Make no mistake about it. And I went on and I was talking to them and I was talking to them about the kid. And I had only seen her once, because it was so difficult to bring her into the office. But I had a very vivid recollection, as to many New York malpractice lawyers who care about their clients. And as I was talking to the lawyer about it, and about how horrible this childs life is, I started to look down and my eyes started to well up, a little, with tears. I didnt cry but you could see the glaze come over my eyes. And the lawyer looked at me, he left, and two hours later, they paid the money.
