$23.5M med mal jury verdict in DeSoto Shelby County

Will Raiford of Merkel and Cocke in Clarksdale, Jim Lees of the Charleston, West Virginia law firm of Hunt & Lees, and Philip Stroud of the Southaven, Mississippi firm of Stroud & Harper as plaintiffs lawyers in a medical malpractice case in DeSoto Shelby County just got a 23,600,000 verdict in a medical malpractice case invovling their client’s breast cancer; her ob-gyn ignored her complaints relating to breast lumps both before and during a pregnancy.

Update: County corrected.

Is that before or after application of caps? Will this case test the constitutionality of the caps??

Grant later expressed regret for the attack on the 22nd. Jumping ahead in the Memoirs to his account of the Battle of Cold Harbor, he writes, "I have always regretted that the last assault at Cold Har ..

Tom, I’ve really enjoyed reading about Vicksburg and it reminded me why it was on my list of battlefields to see. I think you are right about actually going to the battlefield to get the real feel. Ev ..

Ben, I must presume JL meant "Lee" not "Lee and his army." A couple of decent Reb generals could have made things dicey for Grant. Re: the possibly imaginary "exploding musket balls," here is a discus ..

Scrivener's error correction: the jury-rig mortars Grant mentioned are "coehorns" vice "cochorns." "Exploding musket balls." I never knew there was such a device. I wonder how they were fused. Re J. D ..

It's a topic where I've had a virtually unlimited capacity, since I was a child. I read a really fine bio about 10-15 years ago, but it was a mass market paperback, and I do not take care of those, mu ..
