It's not uncommon for clients to call us with a patient conflict and tell us the following: "I performed a perfect procedure and the patient is still livid. What did I do wrong?" The problem may not have been the procedure - it's possible the patient was not a good fit for the procedure in the first place. Here's what we mean: A patient suffering from a condition like body dysmorphic disorder will likely never be satisfied. Patients suffering from these conditions generally need a referral to a provider who specializes in treating such individuals. How do you broach the subject? How can you screen prospective patients for these challenges BEFORE you assume ownership of their care? Leslie Fletcher, NP-BC, is a highly respected aesthetic nurse injector who has worked since 2001 with world-renowned, celebrity dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Leslie has trained over 6,000 providers and is a master at addressing and resolving patient conflicts specific to the medispa space.

Eric Spang underwent a routine prostate examination in late-2020. His blood test revealed elevated levels of a prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This sometimes indicates the presence of prostate cancer. He underwent a biopsy to confirm. When his biopsy came back apparently positive, Mr. Spang and his wife discussed his options and his doctor. After seeking a second opinion, surgeons removed Mr. Spang’s prostate, believing the procedure would save his life. It wasn’t until the procedure concluded that the surgeons realized the mistake. Mr. Spang did not have prostate cancer...
The patient/plaintiff was a 78-year-old man. Doctors identified and removed what they believed was a basal cell carcinoma on his arm. Turns out, it was melanoma. When the patient was eventually diagnosed with melanoma, the disease was advanced. The plaintiff's attorney argued that the initial misdiagnosis damaged his client's chances of survival. But did it? There's a legal theory called "loss of chance." The idea is that when a patient has a horrible prognosis, doctors aren't always liable for a bad outcome. But details matter. Here's what doctors need to know...

Another man in his 40s falsely claims he paid a friend suffering from COVID to visit a local grocery store and lick produce. An Idaho medical association wages war against one of its own leaders when he publically advocates prescribing Ivermectin to treat COVID. Only in the midst of a pandemic do these events make even a little sense.
The defendant practiced as a fertility specialist in the 1980s. Several of his patients were told they would receive sperm samples donated by medical students. The lawsuit alleges he skirted this detail, substituting his own sperm. He impregnated multiple women. Flash forward to the late 2010s - a young woman in her 30s is examined by the defendant. This woman is the man's biological daughter. When this woman investigated her own genetic heritage, she learned the truth...
