NOW... for your ears only: Articles of unique book "DNR".

"DNR" is an interesting and highly anticipated book authored by Maurice Mehrban in a medically familiar language to tackle legal issues and hardship of Medical Professionals at large. The term "DNR" stands for Doctors Need Retribution" with subtle touch referring to the fact that medical field may be a "DNR" case...

The subjects chosen by the author reflect the daily aches and dilemmas of Medical Professionals in today's atmosphere of intense hardship and humiliation imposed upon this highly educated group of professionals. The book is a must for our new generation of doctors and nurses who enter the baffling arena of practice and prepares them to set aside their misunderstanding about the generalized misconception of lavish life of "Doctors". At the same time, this book is quite educational and enlightens the field of Medical practice that is embedded with mysterious complications for legally naive professional. "DNR" approaches the medico-legal issues from the view point of a practitioner since Dr. Mehrban has been in active practice of Cardiology in California since 1985. Maurice Mehrban opted to become an attorney while practicing Medicine as a full time Board Certified Internist and Cardiologist when he realized that, a Medical professional could best sense the pain and sufferance of his colleagues and seek legal approach to remedy those pains. Maurice Mehrban is currently in active practice of Cardiology and Law; he is admitted before the Supreme Courts of State of California, United States, and Supreme Courts of England and Wales. Maurice Mehrban has limited his practice to legal representation and defense of Medical Providers in Criminal, Civil and Administrative cases.

Nuance of month...

IF YOU ARE IN THE FIELD OF MEDICINE AND YOU WANT TO GET DIVORCE, YOU NEED A MEDICALLY ORIENTED ATTORNEY

 

You know the difficulty of being a Medical Provider recently. You have to confront insurance companies, hospital administrative, legislative, and even the patients and patients’ family. At the same time your own family does not understand the situation and you must maintain the status of an entrepreneur. The ugliest scenario might happen when your spouse decides to divorce you. You may face the worst humiliation in family court at the time of dissolution of marriage. In one case, the surgeon had to remain in prison for two weeks since he could not find his account number in Switzerland. In other case, the internist was imprisoned since he violated a court order. Courts are still under the impression that Medical Providers are resourceful and money making machines and the court ordered child supports are outrageous and unbearable under current medical economical situation. In one case, a court ordered Dr. Beatrice C., to pay $30,000 in monthly support to the previous marital partner. Interesting enough, the investigation and discovery showed that the spouse was cashing the insurance company payment checks, and hiding income. Moreover, the vocational evaluation showed that the demanding spouse had capability to make about $9,000 a month. Further, medically oriented lawyer hired medical economists, forensic accountants, and health business management companies to provide the court with ample evidence to reduce the monthly support considerably lower than previously ordered one.   

 

DO NOT LET LEGAL FEES DESUADE YOU FROM PURSUT OF YOUR CASE

A young Physician came to our office few months ago since he received a letter from Medical Board about a DUI and they demanded an appearance to show cause “why his license may not be mitigated”. We had a lengthy conversation when we discussed all legal variables and angles of the case. This discussion was without charge and the good doctor was informed about the legal fees and probable future fees engaged in resolution of the matter, such as discovery fees and experts.

As is reasonable and customary, the good doctor opted shopping around for further advisement and fee searching. Unfortunately, he was misled to believe that the issue would be resolved in 2 to 3 months with a minimal fee and a retainer of $10,000 was secured by a non-medical legal firm. We received a call from this good friend ten (10) months later when he advanced considerable amount of money [over 75,000] and the law firm did not engage in proper process of litigation. Our suggested fee, although high, but was not far from truth. This gullible medical provider was in a very precarious situation and the wrong done could be corrected but with more expense and hardship.

Please note, when you have a legal dilemma you must ask all relevant questions, the procedures involved, the possible extent of legal fees, and all variables. No lawyer can promise you success and minimal fees. Honesty and ethics is cornerstone of professional practice of Medicine and Law.

Majority of Medical provider Legal issues are medically oriented, requires medically knowledgeable legal experts, and is “expensive”. Nevertheless, your medical or nursing license is your livelihood.

Please search all angles of your case, ask about procedures and complications and involved fees. Do not endanger your case by a false promise of lower fees. Medical professional cases are complex, difficult, lengthy, and expensive. You must know that no lawyer could promise or warranty success; that is, you may spend thousands of dollars and yet lose your license.       

 

DO NOT VENTURE PRACTICING LAW YOURSELF

It is very important to leave professional work to professionals.

A medical care provider has ample task performing her(his) own medical work and there is no need for a medical professional to take care of her own legal issues. We go even further and state that, a medical care provider ought to consult a medically oriented law firm for majority of business and professional ventures. We are physicians and lawyers, and we used to practice medicine before we entertained our law degrees and we remember our daily anxieties and complications when we wanted to take step toward non-medical issues. Simple example is when a physicians intends to start or terminate the medical practice, buy or sell his office, start or advance new ventures of practice or billing, sign contracts or to incorporate, get married or cohabit, buy or sell real properties or intellectual properties, change the medical malpractice plan, advance billing, etc. I want to reiterate that you are not able to take care of your medical malpractice problems, medical board issues, or calls and contacts by insurance investigators, and Medicare or FBI agents while you are practicing medicine.

Unfortunately quite often, our Law Firm is retained by a medical provider when some haphazard legal work is already done by the physician; this makes our job close to impossible and your legal expenses much more, if we opt to engage at all. Physicians believe that friendly responses by Insurance Company investigators, FBI agents, and Medical Board investigators is to assist them and thus they communicate or relay information to these bodies that is sometimes most detrimental to them when we try to resolve the issues. Most detrimental is when a physician tries to resolve a medical malpractice issue by communication with plaintiffs, or plaintiff attorneys; the worst is trying to pay off or silence these cases without legal consultation.

Do not forget that the legal issues are not handled like medical problems, they are not black and white and they are open to possibility of manipulation and contamination by opposing party if proper legal discovery and investigation is malhandled or delayed.

Do not contact the patient when you receive a 90 Days Notice of pending litigation. We recommend that you speak with a medically oriented law firm like our office to give them an opportunity to resolve the issue professionally before you pick up the phone and call the patient or contact your Med-Mal Insurance agent. In majority of cases, your simple call to malpractice company is harbinger of the increase in your primiums although malpractice insurance company may never get involved or hire a law firm until the lawsuit is filed. We represent physicians in medical Malpractice lawsuits and we have been able to abort some lawsuits in early stages before the lawsuit was filed.

Do not speak with Medical Board agents and do not let them come to your office to interview you without prior consultation with your lawyer. Understand that Medical Board is not physicians' friend, they are there to discipline you, and no matter how busy you are, do not let them come to your office until you talk to an expert medical lawyer. Do not speak with agents of City Attorney's office, District Attorney's office, Insurance Company agents, Police and FBI until you discuss the matter with the medically oriented lawyer; let them make the call and discover the extent of complication without making damaging remarks. Realize that medical law is best handled by medically oriented lawyer and a big law firm without medical orientation, no matter how experienced they are as a matter of law, may not be able to resolve a medico-legal issue that is known and understood by a doctor. In may cases, these law firms have to pay considerable amount of your money to doctors to advise the lawyer about CPT codes, medical diagnoses, differential diagnoses, prognosis, treatment plans, ICU and CCU procedures, indications and contra-indication of medications, pathophysiology of diseases, and specially review of progress notes and order sheets, nursing staff notes, nutrition and physical therapy, and procedure notes. This is when we, as double or triple board certified practicing physicians and lawyers come as paramount masters.
