I just wanted to bring something to Judge Milian's attention and had there been an available e-mail address for her I would have sent it. As I watched her show on 11-5-04 she made a false statement to one of the litigants. I'm not sure of the litigants name, but it was a case involving a nurse who was suing another nurse for hurting her finger one night at the hospital or in her words "pain and suffering". She stated she had "torn a ligament" in her finger due to the deffendants "attack". The plantiff gave Judge Milian a doctor's note saying she had "sprained" her finger. Judge Milian said that was not evidence of a torn ligament - that a "torn" ligament was actually ripped in two pieces not "sprained". As an anatomy student at my school I immediately recognized that was not true. A sprain IS a torn ligament. Even in my school's text book - Human Anatomy and Physiology, Fourth Edition, by: Elaine N. Marieb - the exact definition of a sprain is when "ligaments reinforcing a joint are stretched or torn". Also, according to Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, the definition of a sprain is "a sudden or violent twist or wrench of a joint with stretching or tearing of ligaments". Obviously with the litigant's occupation being a nurse, she should have noticed. However, I just wanted to bring this to Judge Milian's attention for help in the future.
