I can send you a slide of a picture of a dilantin infiltrate and what a lawsuit costs by the three published cases. The only problem with the published cases are they are not dilantin Most of these cases as Lynn points out are settled out of court Another approach would be to cost out the catheter replacements due to chemical occlusion. Replacements are expensive. I can send you an article that specifies the operational cost of replacement kathy

Problem is it is about 8 times more expensive. He asked if I could find out: If anyone has seen legal cases regarding damages paid as a result of injury from dilantin infiltration. If so what kind of monies were involved? Can anyone reference any articles regarding this issue specific to legal ramifications of dilantin infiltrates? Thanks in advance for your help with this. Jose
