Percutaneous Drainage vs. Open Irrigation and Debridement - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This stock medical exhibit is divided into two sections allowing us to compare the percutaneous drainage procedures that were actually performed in this case with the open treatment that was later suggested would have been more effective for this individual. The first half of the exhibit features two anterior views of the left thigh with the region of the abscess shown transparently beneath the skin. The first image shows a small catheter inserted through the skin and the withdrawal of fluid from the abscess via a syringe attached to the catheter. The second image illustrates the subsequent condition with a drainage catheter left in place, clearly showing that only approximately half of the abscess fluid has been removed with substantial pockets of abscess remaining within the musculature of the thigh. The second half of the exhibit illustrates an open irrigation and debridement procedure. The first image shows the lateral thigh opened through two small incisions extending down into the vastus lateralis muscle allowing large amounts of purulent fluid to be removed via suction. The second image shows the abscess bed being cleansed with copious amounts of saline. A third image shows devitalized tissue being but away form within the wound bed and the final image depicts a penrose drain in place to prevent fluid buildup in the wound.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"A few words about The Doe Report: recently in a brachial plexus injury case, we used an image from The Doe Report to demonstrate the injury. We downloaded the PDF file image, and were amazed at the quality. The hard copies that you sent were even more clear. As well, we could not have been happier when you customized the image and reversed the injury from the left shoulder to the right shoulder, which is where our client's injury was.

The speed and cost-effectiveness of the product made it the perfect tool for our purposes. We will use The Doe Report again in future cases."

"I wanted to thank you for the terrific job you did illustrating my client's injuries. The case was settled at the pre-suit mediation, and I believe a good part of the success we had was due to the medical legal art you prepared.

Your work received the ultimate compliment at the conclusion of the mediation. The hospital risk manager took the exhibit with them at the conclusion of mediation, and will be using it to train nurses on how to prevent bed sores..."

"Thank you for the wonderful illustrations. The case resulted in a defense verdict last Friday. I know [our medical expert witness] presented some challenges for you and I appreciate how you were able to work with him."

"It is my experience that it's much more effective to show a jury what happened than simply to tell a jury what happened. In this day and age where people are used to getting information visually, through television and other visual media, I would be at a disadvantage using only words.

I teach a Litigation Process class at the University of Baltimore Law Schooland use [Medical Legal Art's] animation in my class. Students always saythat they never really understood what happened to [to my client] until theysaw the animation.

Animations are powerful communication tools that should be used wheneverpossible to persuade juries."
