As a result of my MedicoLegal consulting:
โข Protocols were implemented
โข Unsafe practices were changed
โข Patients harmed were advocated for
โข Staffing ratios at institutions were revised
โข Doctors who did nothing wrong were defended
The list goes on and on ... ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ฃ
Everyone has a chance to make more of an impact
