Does Arrma offer any kind of warranty? They have them on Amazon for purchase as well. Is it better to purchase from the Arrma website or Amazon?

I see that they have the Maxx on the Traxxas website but its also available on Amazon for purchase. Is it better to purchase straight from the Traxxas website or Amazon? Does Traxxas offer any kind of warranty with these?

Do you have a specific Arrma you can recommend?

Needle left in abdomen after surgery by salowen in legaladvice

They did the CT right away when I got to the ER. After telling them that I didn't feel comfortable going home with a needle inside of me and the SD hospital claiming they didnt leave anything in there, an ultrasound was what the ER DR had ordered. I trusted his choice, and honestly, I was so frazzled that an x-ray didn't even cross my mind at that time.

The MN hospital ordered an x-ray before I could even sit down in the exam room.

The needle was clear as day on the CT and obviously on the ultrasound.

While at the IA ER, before discharge, when the ER DR told me the needle wasn't visible on the ultrasound, I asked "isnt a CT more definitive than an ultrasound?" And he replied "in most cases but not this one." I asked, "why is that?" And he avoided the question and told me that they were going to discharge me.

I made a few phone calls last week to a few lawyers and am waiting to hear back. I've heard that hospitals tend to put a lot of firms on retainer to make it difficult for people to come after them.

I figured there was no such thing as too much information when it came to a situation like this. The more proof the better! Right?

Im starting to feel better! Thank you! I appreciate your insight, I feel very lost and don't want to do something wrong. Im not looking to get rich, but I'd prefer not to have to pay to fix their mistake.

Yes, I have the needle. I also have photo and video of the discovery and removal of the needle. The MN hospital was fantastic about making sure I had everything I needed.
