In today’s environment, medical professionals face a proverbial catch-22 when treating patients. On one hand, they interact with patients who perceive the costs of health care to be climbing at an alarming rate. These patients also perceive that their medical providers should have all of the answers, provide superior, on-demand care, and communicate more effectively. Medical providers, on the other hand, face a profession steeped in bureaucracy, serving a population who truly does not understand how the system works. As a medical professional, you already incur basics risks for malpractice claims, but this risk grows when a discontented patient perceives that you slighted them in some way.
As a firm specializing in the representation of doctors and hospitals, Doyle Schafer McMahon, LLP wants to be your advocate, and if you are facing a malpractice claim, we can help you get through this tough situation.
