| This website will direct you to a place where you can find expert
witness referrals for medical malpractice.
Sue your doctor and make him realize medicine is about helping sick
people, not making a lot of money.

| Hi Eric,
Already looked into that in regards to the Paxil mistake ...
come to find out, most of the doctors didn't have any idea either ...
So far I've been pretty luck as for as psychprofessionals go, but then
I'm a bit selective.
I look to see what they specialize in or get a reference from someone I
trust.
Nope, don't think I'd sue anyhow ... it's just so much easier asking to
see someone else. That you don't feel "it's a good match" seems to
work and asking of the person, you are looking to change from.
Just my opinion though ...

Trying to make heads or tails of a new fangle online Logic course (
according to what I just got quizzed on 3negative or 2negative make
everything acceptable ????) oh well, it's only the first assignment ...

"You may have been able to get your treating physicians to tell YOU
that the care provided was below the standard of practice, but
in the final analysis, they will not testify against colleagues and
co-workers, and this holds little weight with an attorney."
-------------------------------------------------------------
In other words, most Medical Doctors would rather let you die or remain
in the shitty condition some other doctor left you in. Rather than "rat
out" on another doctor, who is in all probablility a poor doctor.
"The truth is that attorneys will not automatically accept your case no
matter how strongly you believe your case to have merit. Attorneys are
well aware of the complexities of medical-legal litigation and are
exceedingly cautious in their initial case evaluation. You may have
been able to get your treating physicians to tell YOU that the care
provided was below the standard of practice, but
in the final analysis, they will not testify against colleagues and
co-workers, and this holds little weight with an attorney.
You must have an attorney to represent you if you hope to have any
chance of obtaining a just result. But again, it is critical that you
understand that not only are most medical issues complex, but
physicians, hospitals, managed card organizations, and nursing homes
are well-defended by big insurance companies and are highly motivated
to deny your claims, whether or not they are legitimate.
Thus, it is no surprise that the few attorneys who do specialize in
medical malpractice are not only busy, but they are extremely
particular about the cases they choose to take. They are looking for
cases where the liability is clear and their potential client is well
organized and realistic. So what can you do?
The easiest way to interest an attorney in your case is to present them
with a verbal or written report from board-certified physicians,
actively practicing in the same specialties as the potential
defendants. If those physicians find your case clearly
meritorious and are willing to testify at trial, you can
be sure the attorney will be interested!!!
Approaching potential attorneys with expert opinions in hand improves
your chances of getting an experienced attorney in a number of
ways:Your expert's report spells out for the attorney, from an
objective, qualified source, the issues in your case and clearly
identifies the mistakes that were made. The attorney is thus reassured
that your case has merit. Furthermore, by retaining an expert, you have
eliminated one of the biggest hurdles an attorney faces when accepting
a medical malpractice case, namely, lining up credible experts who are
willing to testify in court. Finally, you have also demonstrated that
you are motivated, organized and committed to your case. These are all
elements that a good medical malpractice attorney looks for.
AMFS can help you obtain highly qualified medical experts willing to
review your records, write reports and discuss the merits of your case
with potential attorneys. Since 1990, tens of thousands of attorneys
have come to us for the same reasons you are here; they need quality,
objective, "call it as we see it" case evaluations and quality
testifying medical experts.
If you are interested in learning more, please fill out this form and
you will be contacted by a member of our staff who will discuss your
case with you and explain how AMFS can best help you move forward."

| Yes, what you've written has been my experience also as far as
lawyers go ... they seem to want a case they can win.
Lawyers can be a funny breed, some are do gooders and advocate for
public righteousness ... and others are all about money. Haven't
really figured out a way to separate the two .... at least from my
perspective, but I am working on it.
Did you ever go to a courthouse and just sit there, watching the
different lawyers and their clients? Someone should do a research
paper on that ... just the relationships between clients and their
lawyers and maybe lawyers and other lawyers. Yes, a very funny breed
and then they get promoted to judges or political positions .... very
interesting?
So Eric, do you have a lawyer in your family?

Hope you are having a nice weekend

Nope, never have done that. Have never spent much time in a courthouse
except for a little jury duty and one or two speeding tickets.

Well, I think a lot of it goes back to the Sophists of ancient Greeks.
The Greek Sophists are what modern lawyers are really based upon. These
Sophists...thats where the word "sophisticated" comes from BTW, spent
their time arguing about things. Thats literally all they did. And to
them, all that matter was winning the argument. It didnt matter whether
who won had the moral high ground or was right or wrong factually. All
that mattered was that they won the argument.
Modern lawyers are a lot like the sophists of ancient Greece. Many
lawyers dont truly care who is more moral or not, who is right or
wrong. Many of them only care about winning their case...and making
money off it.
I learned about this in a philosophy class in college.

Nah...I just got semi-interested in it cause I badly wanted to sue one
or two of my past psychiatrists. I learned a thing or two about
medical malpractice...how HARD it is to win a malpractice case cause of
the slanted laws and the insurance companies backing up the doctors.
The insurance companies have a ton of money to spend on attorneys if
needed.
