SERVICES FOR
ATTORNEYS AND LAW FIRMS It can easily mean the difference between winning or losing your client's case. The RIGHT Medical Legal Consultant can also make a tremendous difference in the amount of damages awarded. My name is Greg Stocks and my 26 years in Health Care has left me with an extraordianrily diverse welath of experience. I have practiced anesthesia in just about every setting and specialty. I have worked in world famous academic medical centers, rural 25 bed community hospitals and even plastic surgeons offices, providing anesthesia to just about every type of patient imaginable. Before that I was a paramedic and an ICU nurse. I know the health care system from every angle. Always having been interested in the law, I earned an Executive Juris Doctor in Health Law and discovered I was as much at home investigating medical malpractice claims as I had been behind an anesthesia machine. My law school education combined with my wide ranging knowledge of medical and nursing specialties (necessary for the practice of anesthesia) brings your firm a unique and valuable resource. |

"Why
hire a Medical Legal Consultant when I can hire a physician
instead?" "The case is cut and dry, I just need the medical record organized." I have found the majority of cases are not as "cut and dry" as they appear on the surface. A MLC should be retained as early as possible in the case. As an MLC with advanced training as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, I am fortunate to be able to bring the diversity of medical and nursing knowledge and skill required to practice anesthesia, and combine an understanding of the law and the process of litigation obtained with a Law Degree, together to offer a quality and type of service you will find unique and greatly appreciate. As many a lawyer has found out early on, things are rarely as they seem and the physician expert you hired the first week to evaluate the heart condition of the client, was wasted money once an experienced MLC discovered a hematologist was the real expert needed, or that a physician expert has limited understanding of the charting of nurses or respiratory therapists. WHAT LAW MED CAN DO FOR YOU Expert Witness Determination and Location We have access to a nationwide network of medical and other experts. We can identify the experts you need to prove your case, and find the most qualified individuals. Screen Cases for Merit Do not waste time and money hiring expensive experts before we look at your case! The earlier we are involved, the more efficient and cost effective your preparation will be. We provide a brutally honest case evaluation from both sides and back it up with science and real world experience. We Analyze Medical Records We ANALYZE the entire record (we insist on full medical record reviews for the best results) and are expert in determining whether records have been tampered with, altered, or are missing. We cross reference every procedure, medication, progress note, lab value, clinical study and more with the patient's condition, and plot this in a precise chronologic relationship. This results in a revealing global view of the care of the individual, highlighting trends, failures and deviations from the standard of care. Summarize, Translate, and Interpret Medical Records Medical records can be voluminous. Unlike expensive expert witnesses, we have a working knowledge of every item in the medical record, whether nurses notes, radiology reports, lab studies, or nutrition consults and progress notes....we look at every single piece of information. Often we identify issues and parties that others missed or never considered. We then present our findings both in language everyone can understand, and in a professional report that experts can rely upon, saving you time and money. Our causation charts quickly illustrate the foundation of your case. At the same time, weven with large records, our familiarity with the common contents of the entire record o f a patient allows us to work quickly and accurately, saving money yet increasing quality of service. Timelines and Chronologies We use a variety of methods and software, including TimeMap and CaseMap to develop our dynamic chronologies, which may be minute to minute as appropriate, and present results that may be used as demonstrative evidence. Medical and Legal Research With advanced formal training and experience in both the law and complex medical issues, we can provide you with expert research in both. You have a law clerk and medical research specialist all in one. We maintain access to numerous subscription legal research and medical research resources to ensure you have the latest case law information or medical developements...or those from the year the negligence ocured. Assist with Discovery From production of requests for documents and interrogatories, to physical evidence and depositions, you will find us an invaluable resource. We attend independent medical examinations and depositions as requested, and help prepare your witnesses. Interview Key Witnesses We know what to ask and how. Witness Preparation Our case reports begin the process of Expert Witness preparation by highlighting the areas of concern and the related events. This saves expert preparation time...and saves you money. In addition, we can meet with and prepare your witnesses for deposition and trial, presenting questions the opposition is likely to ask. Our case analysis will identify the precise type of expert needed and provide him/her with the vital issues, documents, events, etc. before he has ever opened the meddical record. He/she will know all of the important issues, making the experts job eassier, and billable hours fewer, and testimony more creible and authoratative. AND MORE................. |
