“I remember being served with papers for a medical lawsuit like it was yesterday, even though it happened years ago. I felt like my whole world shifted on its axis. One minute I had thought of myself as a great doctor, and the next—I was wondering what I was even doing in the emergency department anymore. I felt nausea. Panic set in. I thought I might faint. That was my entrance into twelve years of medical malpractice litigation—and the beginning of a deeply personal ordeal that eventually ended in my favor."
