It Could Happen to You You're an accomplished, capable, caring physician. One day, seemingly out of the blue, you get an email and a knock at the door: Suspended. Your life on pause, pending an investigation. At the mercy of the full power of hospital administrators, nurse unions, competing physicians on the medical executive committees, and the retaliation of the hospital's legal team. What do you do? That's the dilemma faced by Dr. Fuentes-whose fictionalized story is featured in this book-and countless other physicians across the US. What is covered here is not taught in medical schools, and yet it can affect the life and career of any practitioner. The issues surrounding a physician's unfair suspension of privileges are complex, but there is a path forward. Should you ever face unjustified legal action, then the story of Dr. Fuentes and this primer of what to do can aid you on your own quest for justice.
