Considering starting a private practice after fellowship
Hello everyone, I am beginning my pain fellowship at a well regarded, highly interventional program this July and am highly considering starting a private practice afterwards. I was wondering if someone can provide me with an example business plan I can use as a guide. I am a beginner, but do have some guidance from family and friends with private businesses.

That means that the doctor goes out of his or her way and documents that they have d...

Patient Suffers Neuromuscular Deficits Following Spinal Injections; Poor Coordination of Care Results in Paralysis and Malpractice Lawsuit
Someone sent me this after seeing it on the MedPro Malpractice page.
Kind of curious, all other stuff aside, it seems like the patient while having a large herniated disc causing thecal sac compression - did not initially have red flag symptoms at that time until after the SIJ Blocks? And if that is the case, this automatically means you if you fail to send to a surgeon for decompression, you're liable for eventual paralysis/cauda equina symptoms should it happen in the weeks / months /...
