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:
"I thought you might want to know that after we sent a copy of your illustration to the defendants, with a copy to the insurance company, they increased their offer by an additional million dollars and the case was settled for $1,900,000.00.

I appreciate your help!"

"Whether it's demonstrating a rotator cuff tear, neck movement a few milliseconds after rear impact, or a proposed lumbar fusion, the Doe Report represents an instant on-line database of medical illustration for health-care and legal professionals.

Illustrations can be purchased 'as is' or modified within hours and sent either electronically or mounted on posterboard. An illustration is worth a thousand words, as juries perk up and look intently to capture concepts that are otherwise too abstract. Start with good illustrations, a clear and direct voice, a view of the jury as 12 medical students on day one of training, and your expert testimony becomes a pleasure, even on cross examination. An experienced trial lawyer should also emphasize these illustrations at the end of trial, as a means of visually reinforcing key concepts covered.

As a treating physician, I also use these accurate illustrations to educate my own patients about their medical conditions. The Doe Report is an invaluable resource, and its authors at MLA have always been a pleasure to work with."
