Re: #16

... will the Courts actually allow an attorney (in the absence of an expert witness) to present "as evidence" text reports regarding medical conditions?

... I'd believe that a Judge would allow pictures of others suffering from the same disease/injury or affliciton, but will they recognize the complications and potential side-effects (that may be) associated and possibly relevant to the case/client you are representing?

-----------------------------------------------------

Depends on the rules of the jurisdiction, but I very highly doubt it. the attorney needs the expert to vouch for the authoritativeness (?) of the text.

An exception to this might be if the parties stipulated to this without the necessity of an expert, but I can't beleive that would happen very often in the real world.

in some jurisdictions I believe a judge can allow the facts of the text as evidence by taking judicial notice of it. I have only heard of this happening when the "evidence" is not really subject to differing opinions. The only example that comes to my mind is a judge allowing historic facts from an farmers almanac, such as when the full moon was, etc.

Ask the nurse if you can "Smell the Glove".

not the smelly glove

Take heed to #6

I've had 2 or three, can't remember and one gave me the worst headache I've ever had for about 3+ days.

I've had "aura" migraines in Highschool that were VERY bad but only lasted an afternoon and I slept through them. These are worse and they are there when you wake up.

I sure hope all goes well with your condition and this solves it.

You defintely want an experienced Dr. doing the tap, not an intern or new nurse(avoid them at all costs).

Big bottoms, big bottoms, talk about mudflaps my girls gottem'.

It goes to 11. - Nigel Tufnel "Spinal Tap"

Those wet taps are nasty. My wife got one with our last child and she was down for the better part of a month. I watched the Dr. "try" to put in the epidural and it took him 3 or 4 tries. I think she got at least two and maybe three wet taps. Two blood patches didn't work either. What help the most was a scopolamine patch. That controlled the nausea so she could keep fluids down. Thankfully, they don't happen that often.

it was a good movie also

RE: 20 I was gonna post that line 🙂

My brother got a couple..only thing to be aware of is a standing headache for a couple of days under certain conditions. Nothing to worry about. The headaches can be sharp though, but go away the moment you lay down.
