5. MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE AND RISK ASSESSMENT
I have over 20 years experience evaluation of patient care for departures from standards of care, the legal term for malpractice or negligence. The normal process would be for a patient to first consult with an attorney who has no foundation to assess standards of care and without exception will retain an expert like myself (at your expense after you have paid his retainer fee). Did your physician care meet acceptable standards, did the hospital make unnecessary charges or make medication or other errors? If you have a question about past care or need a second opinion on recommendations contact Associated Medical Consultants.
