In May, 2008, The Simmelweis Society made me one of its Laureates. The Simmelweis Society takes its name from, and honors, the Austrian physician run out of Vienna by the dominant doctors of the day, because he dared to suggest physicians should wash their hands before delivering babies. The Simmelweis Society made its "Clean Hands" award to me for safeguarding patient care:
"for your courage and self-sacrifice in safeguarding patient care by exposing institutional abuse in the medical community"
primarily by counsel to physicians and by way of this article (briefly webpublished by the American Health Lawyers Association, 2008) as well as legal assistance on legislative and similar initiatives.

Counseling and Mediation: the goal of counseling is to minimize the likelihood of any further legal complications and expense. Mediation, we have found, is an excellent way to stay out of agency review and out of court, or resolve disputes once in court. But if we also have to help you in any trial or appellate court in California, we stand ready, willing and able to do so -- and we have done so to the satisfaction of our clients.
