  • Questions Dr. McCurdy Can Help Clarify

Helping Counsel Evaluate Complex Medical Issues.

Independent medical analysis helps clarify standards of care, causation, clinical decision making, and the medical facts relevant to each case.
01What does the medical record actually establish?

The review can organize the chronology, identify significant findings and distinguish documented facts from assumptions, incomplete information or hindsight.

Assessment, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and decision-making can be evaluated within the relevant pediatric or pediatric-nephrology context.
When relevant, the review can consider managed care, Medicaid, quality processes, leadership responsibilities and healthcare-delivery issues without treating them as separate clinical specialties.
The opinion should identify areas of reasonable certainty, uncertainty and medical nuance rather than force a complex record into an unsupported yes-or-no answer.
