Project Description
Exhibit panel created for use by the plaintiff in a medical malpractice obstetrical failure-to-diagnose jury trial. The lawyer requested an exhibit to depict the concept of twin-twin transfusion syndrome. Issues of TTTS included demonstrating the connection of blood vessels in the placenta, the physiological process that causes this syndrome, and a comparison of the outcomes of the twins. This panel served as key demonstrative evidence to support the medical experts’ opinions against the defendant obstetrician who failed to monitor the pregnancy on a regular basis and neglected to refer the mother to a specialist for treatment. Delivery was spontaneously triggered prematurely and both twins were compromised as a result, including from the intrauterine environment.
