The ping pong balls did not go the Winnipeg Jets way. They dropped from the 7th overall pick to the 8th as the Toronto Maple Leafs and the San Jose Sharks were the big winners, moving up to No. 1 and No.2 respectively. Whatever. Good for them. The Jets didn't want to pick there anyway... Joking aside, it presents a list of questions for the Jets -- specifically, how are they going to draft? The prevailing wisdom for this club has to always select the best player available, regardless of position.But is that really what's best for this team right now? Don't they need a center more, even if a blue chip blueliner falls into their lap? That is the discussion that Jim and Cam have to kick off the show, before Assistant Director of Scouting and Head Western Scout for McKeen's Hockey Derek Neumeier joins the show to put everything together. All that and more on the latest edition of 'Jets at Noon'! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of the Great Trials Podcast, Steve Lowry converses with Brian McKeen from McKeen and Associates about a significant medical malpractice case, Drake versus Henry Ford Health System. Remember to rate and review GTP on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favorite platform. --- Case Details: "DETROIT – March 29, 2024– McKeen & Associates attorneys Brian McKeen and John LaParl, along with a Michigan Health and Human Service attorney, won a jury verdict in Wayne County Circuit Court yesterday for $120 million on behalf of a boy who suffered a birth injury at Henry Ford Health System. The jury found Henry Ford Health System and the attending obstetrician and nurses were negligent in failing to perform a timely Caesarian section resulting in severe birth injuries. The baby's mother arrived at Henry Ford Hospital in June 2010. She was at term, but not near delivery. Sometime after admission, the fetal monitor indicated “non-reassuring fetal heart tones” and a Caesarean section was called for. Because the procedure was delayed more than two hours, the infant suffered from severe asphyxiation resulting in cerebral palsy and permanent brain damage. The boy will require lifelong care. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services joined the case against the defendants due to the exorbitant cost they have incurred for the medical care for the child, who is now 13 years old."

This week, we're replaying a classic episode where Steve and Yvonne interview Brian McKeen of McKeen and Associates, LP (https://www.mckeenassociates.com/). Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here to Rate and Review. View/Download Trial Documents Case Details: Detroit medical malpractice attorney Brian McKeen explains how he secured justice for a two-month-old boy who suffered brain damage resulting in cerebral palsy after William Beaumont Hospital technicians failed to act urgently. The baby turned blue after receiving an IV for an outpatient renal scan and was without oxygen for 12 minutes because nuclear medicine technicians neglected to immediately issue a "code blue" or to begin administering chest compressions. Despite the defense's attempts to convince the jury that the incident occurred due to pre-existing conditions, an Oakland County, Michigan jury returned a landmark $130.5 million verdict. Guest Bio: Brian McKeen Brian McKeen began practicing law in 1982. During his career, he has become a powerful advocate for his clients and one of the foremost medical malpractice attorneys in Michigan. He has tried cases throughout the United States.

Mr. McKeen formerly served as chair of the AAJ Professional Negligence Section, Medical Negligence Exchange Group, and Birth Trauma Litigation Group (BTLG). Since 2001, McKeen & Associates has generated the year's top verdict in Michigan four times, including securing the state's largest medical malpractice verdict on record in 2001, when a jury rendered a verdict award of $55 million in the case of Hall v Henry Ford Health System. McKeen & Associates also topped all Michigan verdict awards in 2002, with an award of $22.5 million in the case of Blazo v McLaren Regional Medical Center, et al; in 2006, with an award of $16 million in the case of Lowe v Henry Ford Health System; and in 2007, with an award of $35 million in the case of Oppenheim v Aeneas C. Guiney. Mr. McKeen was recently inducted into The Inner Circle of Advocates and named Top Attorneys in Michigan as published by The New York Times in September 2012.
