Isn't it sad that I have to learn what the sam hill happened to my fingers following wrist surgery by watching this video... Ulnar nerve damage. Hmmm.

I have a similar situation, except that I felt the electric-liked shock when a nurse insert needles into my arms and wrist for many time. However, I live in New Jersey. Gerry, do you recommend anyone who does the same type of practice and who are as good as you are in New Jersey?

He doesn't blame the doctor for the laceration he suffered. He recognizes that this all started with his initial injury. He doesn't blame anyone for his initial injury. However, he does blame the doctor in the emergency room for failing to recognize the difference between a bleeding artery and the ulnar nerve. Tying off the ulnar nerve is NEVER acceptable. That's what happened here. Also, the doctors who continued to treat him, failed to recognize the nerve injury, leading to permanent injury.

man, this idiot punched a wall, now he blames the doctor? when i get a patient like this, i'll just let him be.

In this case, the young man had both sensory nerve damage as well as functional damage (motor nerve). If you just have sensory nerve damage, the experts tell me that you can still move the fingers, just not have sensation or limited sensation to those fingers.

im confused motor nerve or sensory nerve? u can still move hand with sensory nerve damage right?

A friend of mine just this morning suggested that there be a "bad outcome" fund. He recognized that there are outcomes that are "known, recognized risks" of a surgical procedure, but from a patient's standpoint, a bad outcome is never an acceptable risk. I don't believe New York is ready or willing to create a "bad outcome" fund. Unfortunately, our legal system of compensation is the best we have at the moment. The money is used to help pay for medical bills, lost wages and suffering.

thanks, as an orthopoedic surgeon and organiser of medical students course i am interested in how to minimise risk, one concern i have has been the decrease in anatomy teaching in universities: anatomy has been depowered. i watched clip expecting bias but the presentation was clear. however i feel we need another way to deal with events such as this rather than an legalistic approach
