MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: Two tests are used to screen for cervical cancer. The pap test, and the HPV test. Your cervix is the lower part of the uterus at the top of your vagina. A pap test is used to check your cervix for abnormal cells. Abnormal cells can sometimes turn into cervical cancer if they aren't treated. In some cases, your cells may also be tested for infection from a virus called the human papillomavirus or HPV. HPV causes most cervical cancer as well as genital warts. The collection of cells for both tests can be done during a pelvic exam. First, your healthcare provider will place an instrument called a speculum into your vagina. The speculum will be opened so that your cervix can be seen. Next, your practitioner will use a scraper or brush to gently collect cells from your cervix. Your cells will be examined under a microscope at a lab to see if any of them are abnormal. The lab may also test your cells to see if they show signs of HPV infection. It usually takes about one to three weeks to get your test results. If you have questions about these tests or your test results talk to your provider.
"[Your staff] was extremely efficient, cooperative and gracious and [their]
efforts produced a demonstrative exhibit that we used effectively throughout
our trial. The jury verdict of $3,165,000.00 was, in no small measure, due
to the impact of the demonstrative evidence. You may be sure that we will
call again."

"I just wanted to let you know that after several days on trial, I settled
[my client's] construction accident case for $4.5 million. Immediately after
the jury was discharged, I spoke with several jurors who told me that they
really appreciated the medical illustrations for their clarity in dealing
with [my client's] devastating injuries. They also expressed their gratitude
in being able to read from a distance all of the notations without
difficulty. Obviously, the boards were visually persuasive. I am certain
that this contributed to our successful result."
