MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: The ovaries are the female reproductive glands. They consist of three types of cells, epithelial, germ, and stromal. When the cells in the ovaries grow abnormally, they develop into tumors that can be non-cancerous or cancerous. If cancerous tumors are not detected early, the cancer cells can spread from the ovaries throughout the pelvic region and continue to spread to the abdominal area and other organs. Determining the stage of ovarian cancer is very important in developing a treatment plan. At stage one, cancer is limited to one or both of the ovaries. In stage two, ovarian cancer extends to the pelvis area. In stage three, ovarian cancer has spread to the abdominal region. In stage four, ovarian cancer extends into the liver or to locations beyond the abdominal area. Ovarian cancer treatment typically includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of therapies.
"I thought you might want to know that after we sent a copy of your
illustration to the defendants, with a copy to
the insurance company, they increased their offer by an additional million
dollars and the case was settled for $1,900,000.00.
I appreciate your help!"

"I wanted to thank you for the terrific job you did illustrating my client's
injuries. The case was settled at the pre-suit mediation, and I believe a
good part of the success we had was due to the medical legal art you
prepared.
Your work received the ultimate compliment at the conclusion of the mediation. The hospital risk manager took the exhibit with them at the
conclusion of mediation, and will be using it to train nurses on how to
prevent bed sores..."
