Oh man...what a depressing story. I hope the docs were sued. This is where malpractice needs to be sued for.
If they had filed a lawsuit, I would have been called as a witness. I documented to the best of my ability on the chart.
The family took the position that all the harm was the result of the truck and didn't hold the physician responsible.
I have a psychologist that lives next door, I talked to him extensively about how to stimulate this kid to conciousness.
I had his friends from high school tape encouraging messages to him and I'd put a head set on him during my shift and play it.
I watched him cry and nothing more than friendly voices.
