Chris Rokosh and Dr. Laura Fortner Ob/Gyn and Certified Life Coach; Turning Pain into Purpose

Send us Fan MailIn this fascinating episode of Inside Medical Malpractice, Chris Rokosh talks with Ob/Gyn and owner of The Med Mal Coach Dr. Laura Fortner.  Several years ago, Dr. Laura was sued for malpractice.  Her case was opened, dismissed, re-opened, went to trial, appealed and is currently making its way through the Ohio Supreme Court.  The accompanying feelings of shame, loneliness, anger, doubt, fear, and helplessness affected every aspect of life for nearly 5 years.  Until Dr. Laura sought the help of a life coach who helped change her way of thinking and come to peace with the outcome, whatever that happens to be.  During this difficult experience, Dr. Laura woke up one day knowing that she had to help other physicians heal the devastating personal and moral injury that often accompany a lawsuit.  As The Med Mal Coach, Dr. Laura walks her clients through litigation, with a goal of returning to their confidence and self-assurance. Listen in as Dr. Laura shares what she learned from her experience, how being sued changed her approach to medicine (and life!), offers great advice on avoiding a lawsuit and gives insight into the most important things we should all know about medical malpractice.  This is a fantastic episode.  Don’t miss it!  For more medical legal education, visit our website. https://www.connectmlx.com/connect-to-education/connect-to-education
