Executive Summary

This case study outlines MRR Health Tech's skills in turning complicated pediatric medical records into a legal summary that is succinct and chronologically precise. A XX-year-old boy suffered facial and dental injuries from a collision with a stationary bus while using an unsecured wheelchair during a school evacuation drill.

Following the wheelchair incident, he underwent Botox and dental surgery and additionally started showing self-injurious behaviors. Emergency, dental, pediatric, and behavioral care records were blended to form a medically accurate, comprehensive timeline. This summary allowed the legal team to grasp the comprehensive impact and provided adequate advocacy on the child's long-term safety and care needs.

Background of the Wheelchair Incident

School Evacuation Drill Turns Traumatic

On XXX, during a mandatory school evacuation exercise, Master J, a XX-year-old boy with developmental disabilities, experienced a traumatic lower lip laceration alongside a dental injury after being forward rolled in an unsecured wheelchair. His rebound against a static bus resulted in significant facial injuries.

Immediate and Ongoing Medical Treatment

• Acute: Surgical restoration of the lower lip was performed on the same day.
• Delayed: Dental interventions included Botox injections to aid in oral motor control or reduce spasticity.
• Post Botox, he developed chest wall pain, a possible side effect of Botox.
• Increased head-hitting behavior reported by the mother, with concerns of pain or neurological problems developing.

Challenges in Medical Records

Disconnected Records and Behavioral Complexities

The medical data spanning over two years included:

• Emergency surgical care
• Specialized dental treatment
• Behavioral health concerns
• Procedural complications

Records were sold in different systems. Given Master J’s limited communicative skills, many symptoms were likely to be shown through behaviors. Caregiver reports were needed to make sense of emotional or neurological problems, which added layers to the interpretation.
