Christopher Banks and Lori Banks v. Inphynet South Broward, Inc.; Monica Miyuki Yamada-Oklin, D.O.
Jan 27, 2017OUTCOME: Plaintiffs' Verdict: $1.35 Million in Total Damages
The claims against the Defendants, an emergency physician and her employer, alleged that she failed to appropriately and timely treat and diagnose the Plaintiff's, Christopher Banks, cauda equina syndr ... ome. The Plaintiffs alleged that had Defendant physician ordered an MRI of the lumbar spine, it would have revealed cauda equina compression, which would have required emergent surgical intervention. However, no MRI was ordered during Mr. Banks' approximate 7-hour stay in the ER, despite his constant complaints of significant back pain, bilateral paresthesias to the lower extremities, and growing numbness. Mr. Banks' cauda equina syndrome was eventually diagnosed after admission, and he was rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital where he underwent emergency surgical intervention. Due to the delay in diagnosis and treatment, Mr. Banks now suffers from significant foot drop and partial paralysis of his lower extremities.

May 22, 2014OUTCOME: Verdict for Plaintiff. Total Damages awarded $19,252,039.
The Plaintiff had been originally seen in the ER in good health with a complaint of an abscess in her back. She was treated at this time and sent home with antibiotics. She returned two (2) days later ... to have her wound repacked, and the next day saw a doctor who noticed heavy drainage and she was then redirected to the ER. Five (5) days later she was seen again in the ER, and was seen by a surgeon and told to return in two (2) weeks. The Plaintiff, however, began to experience chest pain that radiated down here right side and so she returned to the ER. Her chest x-ray and EKG were normal and she was sent home again. There was no discussion at that time of her back wound for which she was previously treated in the ER. Two (2) days later she again returned to the ER with worsening chest pain, was given a pain reliever, and a scan was performed for a blood clot in her lungs and the findings were normal, and she was again discharged only to return later that night. At that time, she was taken to a surgical room, seen by a doctor, and kept overnight. By the middle of the next day, the Plaintiff was complaining of numbness in her feet. In less than nine (9) hours, this once young healthy 36 year old woman had lost all the feeling in her legs, lost bladder and bowel control, and was permanently paralyzed below the waist.
