All of us are closely involved with health and the health industry. The most recent statistics show 33.6 million hospital stays yearly for 159 million patient days. In this country, we have outstanding health care and incredible stories of innovations in health care.
As experienced nurses, our advice to all consumers is to be responsible for monitoring your own health, your healthcare, and that of your family. That means listening to your body, seeking professional guidance from health professionals, seeking additional information (relatively easy today with the internet), and talking with your doctor and others.
If something doesn't seem right, check with other professionals. Mistakes can be made. Patients can be neglected. Ask for a second opinion. Become an active partner in your health care.
Although we do have a good health system in this country, with such a high volume of people needing health care, bad things can happen. However, not all bad things are the result of malpractice. Sometimes it is just a natural consequence or a true accident.
However, when losses occur because of medical malpractice or auto accidents or general negligence, it is necessary to try to make people whole through our legal system.
Our firm works only for attorneys as fact-finders based on medical records. If you are involved with an attorney already and need our services, please refer your attorney to this site and ask that they contact us.
If you do not have an attorney, but think you should secure one to represent you, contact your state trial lawyers association or state bar association. If you cannot find those two organizations in your state, please click to e-mail our firm and we'll help you make contact.
