Host: Larry Kaskel, MD Guest: Steven I. Kern, JD Will openness and honesty about medical errors help you avoid medical litigation?

Host Dr. Larry Kaskel reviews your options and a few specific cases with Steven Kern, a health law attorney with Kern, Augustine, Conroy & Schoppmann, a firm representing physicians and other health professionals.
