Whether you’re a packing perfectionist or a last-minute folder, learning a few more special tricks for stuffing your suitcase with your travel essentials can’t hurt! You’ve probably already heard about rolling up your clothes into cylinders or buying packing cubes, so here are four other game-changing packing hacks. Stuff your shoes! If you’ve ever had to sit on your suitcase just to zip it shut, this tip is for you. Shoes can take up a serious amount of space in luggage. That’s why you should try stuffing whatever you can in your shoes to ensure you pack everything you need. Socks and smaller garments are perfect for rolling up and putting in your shoes. If you’re bringing boots, that means more space for your belongings! Use solids and cling wrap to avoid spills. There’s nothing worse than opening your luggage in your hotel to find that your shampoos and other liquids have burst and stained half of your wardrobe. Surprisingly, countless brands offer solid shampoos and conditioners. Instead of large bottles of liquid, these necessities are made into compact, solid bars. If you do have fluids you need to pack, try covering them with cling wrap or putting them in zip-lock bags to ensure nothing spills on your other things. Sneak more clothes in a pillowcase. Play it cool when you pass TSA with a pillowcase stuffed with extra clothes! Don’t worry, this hack is entirely legal and perfect for those who like to shop when they travel. Be sure to pack a zipped pillowcase in your luggage so that if you have too many clothes on your return trip, you can stuff them into the pillowcase and bring it with you on your flight.
When we visit our doctors with a problem, we trust that they’ll always do whatever is necessary to help us and only act with our best interests in mind. But unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Medical malpractice is the third-leading cause of death in the United States, with at least 250,000 deaths yearly due to medical errors. Many injuries related to medical malpractice have high associated costs for recovery. So not only are they a victim of malpractice, but they’re also faced with mountains of bills to pay.
In Texas, malpractice cases typically fall into three categories:
• Failure to Diagnose: This type of malpractice occurs when a doctor or other health care professional fails to diagnose a patient with the proper medical condition or diagnoses them with a condition they do not actually have. • Negligent Treatment: In this type of medical malpractice, a doctor, nurse, or other health care professional makes a mistake that an otherwise competent doctor would not have made. In these malpractice cases, the victim must prove that the doctor was “willful and wanton” in their negligence and dismissal of the patient’s needs, not simply making a mistake. • Failure to Warn: This last form of malpractice occurs when a doctor or medical professional fails to warn a patient of known risks to courses of treatment. This includes surgery, medications, therapies, and other treatments. If a doctor fails to warn a patient of these risks or doesn’t receive their consent to proceed and proceeds anyway, they have committed malpractice.
Medical malpractice can often result in injuries to the victim, either during or after surgery or treatment. Common injuries include:
