Air Embolus - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This stock medical illustration features a series of images describing the passage of an air embolus from the vagina and uterus, to the heart. The illustrations feature the following: 1. Vasculature of the uterus. Arrows indicate the passage of air through the vagina, into the uterus, passing through the uterine wall, and into the complex network of veins surrounding it. 2. Path of air embolus to the heart. Arrows indicate the air travels through the major veins in the pelvis, to the inferior vena cava, up through the torso and into the heart. 3. Air embolus in the heart. Arrows indicate the air entering the heart through the inferior vena cava, passing through the right atrium and accumulating in the right ventricle preventing the heart from functioning normally.
"Thank you for the splendid medical-legal art work you did for us in the
case of a young girl who was blinded by a bb pellet. As a result of your
graphic illustrations of this tragic injury, we were able to persuade the
insurance company to increase their initial offer of $75,000.00 to
$475,000.00, just short of their policy limits.
We simply wanted you to know how pleased we were with your work which, to
repeat, was of superlative character, and to let you know that we would be
more than willing to serve as a reference in case you ever need one. Many
thanks for an extraordinary and dramatic depiction of a very serious injury
which clearly "catapulted" the insurance company's offer to a "full and
fair" amount to settle this case."

"A few words about The Doe Report: recently in a brachial plexus injury
case, we used an image from The Doe Report to demonstrate the injury. We
downloaded the PDF file image, and were amazed at the quality. The hard
copies that you sent were even more clear. As well, we could not have been
happier when you customized the image and reversed the injury from the left
shoulder to the right shoulder, which is where our client's injury was.
The speed and cost-effectiveness of the product made it the perfect tool for
our purposes. We will use The Doe Report again in future cases."

"I just wanted to let you know that after several days on trial, I settled
[my client's] construction accident case for $4.5 million. Immediately after
the jury was discharged, I spoke with several jurors who told me that they
really appreciated the medical illustrations for their clarity in dealing
with [my client's] devastating injuries. They also expressed their gratitude
in being able to read from a distance all of the notations without
difficulty. Obviously, the boards were visually persuasive. I am certain
that this contributed to our successful result."
