In a failure to diagnose breast cancer case, do you know what the most common question
is and the most important question I have to answer? Would you like to know the answer?
Come join me as I share that information with you. Hi. I’m Gerry Oginski. I’m a New
York medical malpractice and personal injury trial attorney practicing law here in the
state of New York. It’s now 13 days after Hurricane Sandy has blasted through New York
and here I am in Great Neck, shooting video outdoors. And why am I doing that? Because
for the last 13 days I have absolutely no power. It’s been quite a challenge being
in a house without power, especially when the temperatures drop into the 30s. And I
have to tell you and I’ll share this with you, I have been living in my office for the
last 4 days and I need to get out. It’s a beautiful day today, a little overcast.
But you can see behind me the remnants of a massive tree that collapsed on my front
lawn and literally crushed my entire garage. Damage to the roof, blew out windows, damaged
my cars. But thankfully, it was only property damage. But I wanted to share this information
with you because it’s really important. You know, typically a potential client will
come into my office and they’ll say, “Mr. Oginski, I think the doctor failed to timely
diagnose my breast cancer” and this is what I usually hear. The woman winds up feeling
a lump in their breast during the course of examining themselves, during the course of
taking a shower they feel something. Now when the woman goes to the gynecologist to now
complain about the breast lump, a number of things will happen. The doctor is going to
go ahead and examine your *** – not just one, but both. And they’re going to
do it sitting up and laying down. They’ll also ask you a number of questions about whether
or not this is going on during the time of your period. The doctor can either turn around
and say, “Listen, let’s watch and wait and we’ll check it periodically.” The
alternative is that you now go for a series of tests. You have the breast sonogram, you
have a mammogram, you go for a breast evaluation to a breast surgeon. What I typically see,
in cases involving failure to diagnose breast cancer, are instances where the radiology
facility misinterprets the diagnostic imaging tests that were performed. Now the key question
that dragged you into this video and the question that you need to understand, in order to determine
whether or not you may have a valid basis for a case, is if your condition had been
diagnosed earlier when you first complained of the problem would the treatment or the
outcome be any different? Now this is really, really important. You know, this is a basic
tentative medicine especially treating cancer cases that the earlier and sooner you diagnose
a cancer patient, the sooner you can begin treating them and the better outcome they
likely will have. Now why do I share this information with you on a beautiful day here
in Great Neck today while I’m waiting for my power to be restored? I share it with you
because it’s important information and you’re searching online to learn about whether or
not you may have a valid basis for a case and whether or not your doctor failed to timely
diagnose and treat your breast cancer. Well if you have those questions, what I encourage
you to do is pick up the phone and call me. The phones are working in my office and I
can answer these questions. You can reach me at 516-487-8207 or by email at lawmed10@yahoo.com.
I’m Gerry Oginski, here in New York. Stay warm.
