Expertise

I can answer questions from patients uncertain why they feel worse after their medical care.

Experience in the area

I have prepared medical malpractice cases for than 100 practicing lawyers. I have a success rate above 70%.

What do you like about this subject?

I am an expert in medical malpractice. I have more than 50 years experience with the medical care delivery system in the US. I had investigated hospitals for compliance with Federal and State laws for more than 18 years. I'm old and I have seen a hell of a lot.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I have written two books on medical malpractice. Identifying Medical Malpractice is for lawyers, paralegals and investigators. Then Why Does It Still Hurt? is for patients who believe malpractice has been done during their medical care. You may buy them from: www.CatalpaPress.com

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Medical blunders cause more deaths every year than war. Medical malpractice is a major Public Health hazard.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Doctors are in denial. Most doctors do not keep up with modern medicine.
