Why This Book is Needed
&
What It Means to You
Dr. Charles Theisler
It is said of medicine that the work brings us as close to God as man can be. I agree. I’m a physician by training and a malpractice attorney by trade. I deeply respect the medical education I received for its quality and values; I also have the highest regard for my dedicated mentors and for all they shared with me and my colleagues, despite my brief time with them. In my opinion, medicine’s goal of providing relief from human suffering is the result of the most benevolent human urge in history.
Unfortunately, in this world troubles are universal and inevitable. Medicine for all its nobility has its own unique set of problems. Not least among them, just the thought of malpractice lawsuits with all their negative consequences rightfully strikes fear in the hearts of most physicians. As someone who has been on both sides of the table, I’ve witnessed those fears and faced oncoming legal horrors first hand. I’ll share my story below as an example
of the kinds of unexpected things that can go wrong.
The primary purpose of this book is to arm physicians with practical working knowledge. This is accomplished in two steps: 1) by providing straightforward facts and common sense explanations of legal concepts underlying medical malpractice in everyday terms, then 2) combining those clarifications with solid practical advice regarding how best to prevent malpractice allegations, minimize liability, properly and efficiently manage charges of malpractice that are brought, improve testimonial skills, better protect assets and minimize personal and professional losses. These are all critical informational pieces that are missing from a standard medical
education.
It is my hope that this book can serve the greater good by helping others become better, more efficient, and more caring practitioners.
