In this episode, a young man suffered terrible burns after his best friend accidentally doused him with gasoline... which then caught fire. The young man then began to develop psychological symptoms which were completely missed by his treating physicians. Through talking with the client, we recognized his symptoms were likely due to PTSD.  Dr. Grundy, a combat veteran, was able to help the client open up and discuss how he was feeling. Finding this diagnosis allowed this man to get the treatment he deserved... and increased the case settlement value by $100k.
