“Dr. Theisler’s book should be standard reading for all medical schools. It is a comprehensive, easy to access look into all the legal pitfalls that a practicing physician needs to know. Any physician following Dr. Theisler’s pearls of legal wisdom will save money, reduce their legal heartaches, and will provide his/ her patients with optimal care. I can’t recommend his book highly enough. It is a must read.”

“Well thought out, organized and timely information for anyone faced with the reality of our current medical-legal system. This book should be the first step in acquiring the necessary information for both beginning students, as well as, established practitioners.”

“…[A]n excellent guide for all healthcare professionals. The complicated inside workings of a malpractice suit are explained simply, logically, and understandably. I wish that all our clients had read this work for their own protection. I would recommend this book to anyone currently working in or considering
a career in healthcare.”

“Dr. Charles Theisler has written a new book, Maximum Malpractice Protection: A Physician’s Complete Guide. I have been a medical malpractice expert witness for plaintiff and defense work for 20 years. I am in a well-qualified position to review this new book. It is an incredibly well written and extremely thorough review of the entire medical malpractice subject. This is a must read for all doctors, especially new physicians who have just finished their residency and fellowship. I even go so far as to suggest all medical practices and malpractice carriers provide this book to all new associates and new hires. Every section shines; the mock deposition is spot on.”

 This is an outstanding book on malpractice that provides a comprehensive review of the topics that are most relevant to practicing physicians interested in this field. Although this book is written from the perspective of American Jurisprudence, including an excellent review of the legal principles that underlie our court system, the information presented would be of interest to physicians practicing nationally as well as internationally. By virtue of its broad perspectives and detailed recommendations, the book is likely to be helpful to healthcare providers involved in a variety of capacities in the medico-legal system, be it as a defendant or expert witness for plaintiff or defense, or risk
manager. Bravo to Dr. Theisler for his outstanding work!”

Jonathan D. Marmur, MD, FACP, FACC

“Dr. Theisler has produced a truly comprehensive guide for understanding the medical malpractice process and adeptly explains how medical care providers can reduce their own risk and keep their patients’ safe. His work is equally applicable to physician extenders such as physician assistants and advanced practice nurses. Chapters are written with clarity and practicality. Legal theory and recommendations are well-referenced in addition to being based on years of personal experience with clinical case review and court testimony. Maximum Malpractice Protection is an essential read for all providers who wish to be the best clinicians they can be for their patients
and help ensure lengthy satisfied careers free of litigation.”

“Very detailed and comprehensive. It gives great insight, is very easy to read and follows a straightforward order. The real-life examples help break up the technical information and make the book more personal and relatable. There is a lot of very clear and concise advice here that will hopefully help keep a few more docs out of trouble! The rules listed out to prevent malpractice were great and I am sure something most doctors would love to have as a quick reference.”

“Dr. Theisler’s book for physicians on how to navigate a malpractice case is a thoughtful and accessible introduction to the topic. He starts with a brief summary of the U.S. legal system with emphasis on medical malpractice. He next goes into the legal and ethical contract between physicians and patients in great detail so that the reader really understands what this means, how it applies to law, and the traps to avoid. This first section should be required reading for all new and established physicians. The next section is the primary focus of the book on how to avoid a malpractice suit, how to succeed in winning a lawsuit if one is filed, and how to learn from such a lawsuit in the future for yourself and colleagues. The book contains sections on how to deal with specific situations in the course of clinical practice, how to preserve assets before a suit is filed, and what to do if an error occurs to minimize risk. This should also be required reading for all new physicians both for minimization of risk of malpractice suits but also to provide high-quality, compassionate care. Dr. Theisler has done an excellent job in helping physicians through this stress-inducing part of clinical practice. It isn’t heavy in legal jargon and is written in a way that is applicable to all specialties.”
