Ohio Spine Injury Lawyer
A spinal cord injury occurs when delicate nerve tracts that run up and down the spine are damaged. Depending on the severity of the injury and the location of the spine it affects, a spinal cord injury can cause effects ranging from paralysis, weakness, numbness, difficulty breathing, loss of normal bowel and bladder control, spasticity, abnormal blood pressure, difficulty regulating temperature, and others. Most importantly, most spinal cord injuries cannot be fully repaired. Recovery consists of learning how to live with an injury through physical therapy and other coping mechanisms. In addition, patients who have suffered a spinal cord injury are at higher risk for developing related health problems such as lung infections, bladder infections and bedsores.
When a physician or anesthesiologist needs to operate or involve the area surrounding the spinal cord in treatment, they have a responsibility to report the risks of the procedure to their patient and offer reasonable options. This is because in these high-risk procedures, unfortunate accidents sometimes occur.
