We LOST !! :(
We LOST !! :(
I can't believe it. We lost our case. I am devistated.
Wanted to thank you all for the many years of support and encouragement. I feel like I am in a fog right now. Hope the next few days it will lift. I just don't see how the jury did this....
I am soo sad, but need to get past this, I have 3 kids to take care of and a job to go to...hopefully time will heal my broken heart. I wanted this soo bad for my son.
I keep thinking in my head, When one door closes another one opens.
thank you again for the support

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

You are the third one I heard from NY who lost their case. I just can't believe it-- how could they.
The three I know of are in Rockland County.
This stinks... I will pray that you can accept this and move forward.

Re: We LOST !! :(
I'm really sorry you lost your case. I know that anything I can say WON'T make you feel better AND you are entitled to feel as devasted as you do now but I'm going to try...
(1) if you believe in higher power -- that's where the final judgement will come for your practitioner - this court thing was only a business transaction that 12 people just didn't understand.
(2) at the end of our "thing" there wasn't ANY closure for me at all - maia's injury is permanent and will remain a struggle for her lifetime - how can there be any closure with that?
(3) the economy had a thanksgiving feast on whatever tiny piece was left after the VULTURES took (and continuously take) their fees and expenses and percentages and yeah whatever.
(4) it never stopped my practitioner from practicing and (probably) injuring more children
There was no greener grass on the other side.
Again, I'm sorry you are feeling so devastated.
It sucks that you lost.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: Nicholas is 11 years old and his birth was complicated by a severe shoulder dystocia resulting in a severe LOBPI. He has had 5 surgeries to date with very little improvement. His left arm has never fully gained any functional use and has been completely flaccid until his last surgery. It now sits at a more natural position, but he is still unable to use his arm. However, his hand function was never limited until after his most recent surgery and is now completely limited due to an ulnar nerve entrapment. He is getting ready to have his 6th surgery in April to free the ulnar nerve from his last surgery. He is an amazing young man who never gives up on his dreams. He is my HERO!!!
Re: We LOST !! :(
I am so sorry. I am so proud of you for your efforts. That is something you can always remember is how hard you fought. I am going to be praying for you and your family. Over time, you will begin to heal. If ever you need a friend please feel free to email me. ((((hugs))))

Re: We LOST !! :(
This sucks. No justice served. I'm sure the BS defense fed the jury a ton lies.
May you find the strength to get past this. I know how hard you wanted this for your son.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: To make an incredibly LONG story short...
When I was born, my mother's doctor was out of town. A doctor that would not perform c-sections was forced upon us. Being 10 lbs, my right shoulder got stuck under my mom's pubic bone. The doctor pulled me out by my head, which ripped/streched all the nerves in my neck and arm (So, OBPI).
I've had two surgeries at 9 months old, and 3 years old.
My mother suffered as well. She needed both brain surgery and a shunt--She still sufferes today.
My parents lost the court case due to a terrible jurey.
That's about it!
Hope I can find somebody my age to talk to :)
Re: We LOST !! :(
I'm so sorry about your case.
I can honestly say I know how you feel.
I'm 13 and have ROBPI.
I'll make a long story short.
My mom told the doctor for months that she needed to have a c-section.
Doctor didn't listen, ripped me out by my head.
Went to court 3 years later, had a terrible jury.
Ended up losing our case because they made the doctor seem like a hero. Saying that I didn't die at birth.
My mom still gets upset from it, and that was 10 years ago. You can email her if you want, she'd be more than happy to talk to somebody that had a similar case. (kimberdawg@gmail.com)
