Medical Malpractice Expert Dr. Perry Hookman, MD, FACP, FACG, to Release Home Study Course To Teach Health Care Professionals How to be Effective Experts & Defendants in Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Health care professionals in every specialty can earn additional income by testifying as medical experts in medical malpractice lawsuits, but they must learn how to be effective in the courtroom first. A new home study course developed by board-certified physician and medical expert allows them to learn what they need to know on their own timelines and from the comfort of their own homes or offices rather than attending expensive, and time consuming medical expert workshops. A valuable resource for defendants in medical malpractice lawsuits too.
Austin, TX (PRWEB) May 1, 2009 --An estimated 25% of all practicing physicians are sued annually for malpractice (When Good Doctors Get Sued, 2001). Nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals are also at risk for such lawsuits. In every medical malpractice litigation, medical records are reviewed and medical experts testify for both the defendant (the medical professional) and the plaintiff (the patient). A qualified medical expert is reimbursed on average at between $250 and $600/hour for their involvement in a medical malpractice case. Health care professionals in every specialty can become medical experts, but they must learn how to be effective in the courtroom first. In the past they would have had to attend expensive and time-consuming medical expert workshops to gain that knowledge. Now however, they can obtain it on their own timelines and from the comfort of their own homes or offices by purchasing   Medical Malpractice Expert Witnessing: Introductory Guide for Physicians and Medical Professionals (Potomac Press, ISBN-10: 1420058959, 592 pages) at www.medmalbook.com. They can purchase the entire volume in hardcover or as a download or they can purchase individual chapters of the book. The chapters will be downloaded to the purchaser's e-mail address. Coaching by the author comes with the cost of purchase. (This Summer, healthcare professionals will be able to deepen their understanding of being a medical expert with the publication of Medical Expert Testimony: Advanced Syllabus for Health Care Professionals. The complete book as well as individual chapters will also be available at www.medmalbook.com.) Medical Malpractice Expert Witnessing discusses among many other subjects: - The kinds of questions medical experts can expect the plaintiff's attorney to ask them during a trial
- What to say and not say when providing testimony
- How to maintain a powerful presence on the witness stand
- How to respond to embarrassing questions from the plaintiff's attorney
- How to use legal theories and medical analogies to strengthen testimony
- How to manage attorney abuse
How medical experts should bill for their time
- The kind of contract they should get from the retaining attorney
- The dos and don'ts of advertising
The book also features numerous time-saving forms and templates as well as sample agreements.
A reviewer for the Journal of the American Medical Association praised Medical Malpractice Expert Witnessing as "A reference work (with) astute advice and helpful recommendations, artfully detailed". The editor-at-large for the Journal of Nurse Consulting called it "An invaluable primer for the beginner, a guide for the experienced and also a reference book…for both health care providers and attorney alike."
Medical Malpractice Expert Witnessing is written by Perry Hookman, MD, FACP, FACG, who is board certified in both gastroenterology and internal medicine and has over 30 years of experience in those fields of medicine. He was retained and continues to serve as an expert medical witness by the Office of Medicare Hearings & Appeals of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
 Dr. Hookman is also the author or co-author of more than 50 peer-reviewed articles on topics related to internal medicine and gastroenterology and has served on the editorial boards of such publications as the Journal of American Association for Hospital Medical Foundation, Montgomery Medicine, (the Journal of the Montgomery County Medical Society), and Maryland Medical Journal. He has also served as a peer reviewer for The Annals of Internal Medicine, The American Journal of Gastroenterology, and Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Journal.
Dr. Hookman has a clinical practice and participates on the faculty of a medical school and teaching hospital. He is the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions for his leadership, excellence and service as a clinician.

Pharmaceutical Expert Donald H. Marks, M.D., Ph.D., to Speak on Topic of Medication-Induced Violence at Missouri Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers
Stockton, California (PRWEB) January 11, 2009 -- Experts.com is proud to announce that pharmaceutical expert Donald H. Marks, M.D., Ph.D., is speaking on the topic of Medication-Induced Violence at the Missouri Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers on January, 16, 2009, at Harrah's Hotel, North Kansas City, Missouri. Dr. Marks has over 20 years of experience in Pharmaceutical Medicine and Adverse Effects. Dr. Marks will address the Missouri Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in a seminar entitled "The Search for Reasonable Doubt: DNA, Computers, Fingerprints & other Sciences" on "The Role of Prescription Medications in Inciting People to Commit Violent Crimes." Topics of discussion will include: - Increased awareness of antidepressant medications to cause a paradoxical increase in depression, and in some cases, suicidal and homicide ideation;
- Medications that may cause or worsen anxiety, agitation, irritability, aggression, hostility, emotional blunting and disinhibition; and
- Medications which can induce or increase feelings that may lead to self-directed or outwardly directed violence, especially in a pre-disposed individual.
 Dr. Marks recently co-authored an article entitled "Homicidal Ideation Causally Related to Therapeutic Medications" where he poses the following idea for discussion: "Recent years have seen increased concern about suicidality induced by prescription medications. Suicidality and violence are closely connected clinically and often occur in the same individual at the same or at different times. This known clinical phenomenon is reflected in the frequent use of the phrase 'violence toward self or others'." This article is published in Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 10, Number 3, 2008.
Dr. Marks is the principal physician scientist of Extant Medical Legal Consulting and has a hospital-based internal medicine practice in Birmingham, Alabama. He was formerly the Associate Director of Clinical Research for a major international pharmaceutical company and Director of Clinical Research for an international vaccine manufacturer. Dr. Marks has been trained in the pharmaceutical industry in the areas of Clinical Research and Regulatory Affairs. As a consultant and expert witness for defense and plaintiff attorneys, he has participated in approximately 105 depositions and trials and has an excellent record against challenges. He offers unbiased evaluations of Adverse Events related to: - Drugs, Biologicals and Vaccines
- Independent Medical Assessment of Causation, General and Specific
- Assessment of Quality of FDA Documentation
- Evaluation of Failure to Test and Failure to Warn
- Standard of Care
- Quality of Clinical Research Programs

Madoff Matters: Determining Fiduciary Responsibility is a Key to Recovering Claims When Investment Dealings Sour
Bernie Madoff's name has become synonymous with being ripped off financially. But his huge Ponzi scheme is only the most famous example of fiduciary foul play in the news today. Thanks to Mr. Madoff's notoriety, BFD (Breach of Fiduciary Duty) may soon enter the American public's lexicon as a description for swindling investment clients. As events unfold in the Madoff matter, www.fiduciaryexpert.com has issued a summary report related to liability and potential recovery which can be viewed at Experts.com.
Los Angeles (PRWEB) January 5, 2009 -- Bernie Madoff's name has become synonymous with being ripped off financially. But his huge Ponzi scheme is only the most famous example of fiduciary foul play in the news today. Thanks to Mr. Madoff's notoriety, BFD (Breach of Fiduciary Duty) may soon enter the American public's lexicon as a description for swindling investment clients. As events unfold in the Madoff matter, www.fiduciaryexpert.com has issued a summary report related to liability and potential recovery which can be viewed at Experts.com.
This is information that can aid victims, their attorneys and CPAs in their efforts to recover funds and help others to avoid being wronged. In addition to victims, many other parties all along the investment chain can benefit from learning more about their responsibility and potential for recovery. Of particular note are feeder funds, introducing parties, board members or trustees of nonprofits and other eleemosynary organizations, advisers thereto, and any parties to insurance coverage(s); personal and or commercial. All of these are targets for recovery. Those who have been wronged, including in matters related to claims filed in or by Securities Class actions, FINRA Arbitration, ERISA, Trust and Estate, Charities, Schools and Hospitals, Foundations and Endowments, should consider consulting an expert like Chris McConnell before filing any recovery papers or responding to legal challenges. McConnell's firm, Chris McConnell & Associates offers FiduciaryFORENSICS® and provides professional consulting on all matters related to fiduciary duty, performance, liability, damages, and recovery.
According to McConnell, "Attorneys and CPAs need to accurately understand issues and parse information pertaining to fiduciary duty. Not just for the Madoff scandal but for every client who is a trustee, fiduciary or beneficiary."
FiduciaryFORENSICS® measures the financial responsibility of all potential parties within the FiduciaryTheater™ regarding fiduciary duty, performance, liability and damages and potential recovery of funds. Functional fiduciaries, in addition to named fiduciaries, warrant investigation and may have significant liability personal exposure. Connecting the concept of "fiduciary duty" to specific required, represented acts, omissions and or shortfalls portends liability and damages and recovery requires expert advice.
Potential Recovery Sources:
McConnell & Associates identify several sources for potentially recovering mis-invested funds in the Madoff debacle and others like it:
- bankruptcy court-ordered Claw backs from investors
- Madoff-controlled entities' employees, agents
Feeder funds
- introducing parties including Business managers, Attorneys and CPAs
excess SIPC insurance coverage
- board members and trustees at certain nonprofits, foundations, endowments, hospitals, colleges and universities and 3rd party advisers thereto who may be personally liable
- any and all insurance coverage(s) maintained by same--whether personal or commercial
Red Flags, Due Diligence, Fraud & Recovery issues:
Here are areas of concern for all victims and investors who may need help identifying and analyzing:
- SIPC and Excess SIPC coverage, if any
- self-reported and custodied securities; proxy voting a small CPA firm
- self-executed and reported trades; best execution, soft dollars
- Account type - investment advisory, hedge fund and or discretionary brokerage account
- performance attribution, quarterly monitoring, CPA audit firm
- account agreements, customer statements, trade confirmations, year end 1099 statements
- recovering taxes paid on "phantom" capital gains and income
- tax Deductions may be available for loss of investment due to theft (in the year discovered)
- regulatory filings triangulation - SEC and SRO (FINRA / NASD, NYSE) duties
- offshore accounts - are they beyond the reach of US court jurisdiction
- feeder funds - personnel, policies, procedures, ADV's, incentives, AIMR GPS standards
- exposure for referring Attorneys, Business Managers, CPAs (see www.fiduciaryexpert.com/page12.html)
- recovery for charities - are board members and advisers personally liable?

Press Release
Experts.com proudly publishes the following press release issued by its Member and Dickinson Professor Dr. Christofilis Maggidis:
Immediate Release
May 10, 2004 | Contact: Heidi J. Hormel, 717-245-1916
Asst. Dir., Media Relations | Dickinson Professor Part of History Channel’s "The True Story of Troy"
CARLISLE, PA - The blockbuster movie, "Troy," has put the spotlight on this ancient city that scholars have studied for centuries. Dickinson College archaeologist Christofilis Maggidis, the Christopher Roberts Assistant Professor of Archaeology, is just one of the experts who was interviewed for a factual exploration of the famous city for the History Channel’s "The True Story of Troy."The program, which will premiere on Sunday, May 16 at 8 p.m., asks the questions: Did Troy really exist? Was it the site of a Trojan War? Did Greek warriors build a Trojan Horse? Or was Troy a myth created by Homer and other poets?
The History Channel’s documentary looks at the nearly invincible Achilles, valiant Hector, the beautiful Helen, and the king of kings Agamemnon. These individuals and their exploits are sources for Western thinking about topics such as courage in the face of death, the attributes of the ideal soldier, sexual passion, the vagaries of fate, what happens to the human soul when it engages in brutal combat, and the value of compassion.
Maggidis, who hails from Greece and the University of Athens as well as Penn, Brown and Harvard universities, teaches archaeology in the classroom and on digs at Mycenae, seat of mythical kings like Atreus and Agamemnon. A part of this settlement is Dickinson's own excavation site, known as Excavation Program & Archaeological Survey of Mycenae (D.E.P.A.S.). A portion of Maggidis’ interview for the documentary was filmed at this site.
Dickinson students who work with Maggidis are the only foreign undergraduates ever permitted to dig at this world-famous archaeological landmark. Further, Dickinson in Carlisle, Pa., is now the only college or university in the world that conducts research and excavation at Mycenae.
In the past, many scholars assumed that Troy and the Trojan War were mythic stories. More recently, however, some historians, archaeologists and literary detectives have come to believe that Troy was a Bronze-Age world trade center located in what is now Turkey.
"The Story of Troy": tracks the fascinating labor of modern scholars, who have gradually solved the mystery of Troy’s existence by digging through fields, diving underwater to recover shards of ancient pottery, and pondering ancient script. Vivid 3-D animation, along with re-enactments of battles and exclusive film from sites of archaeological digs, bring the history of Troy to life.
A private, national liberal arts college of 2,300 students, Dickinson is located in south central Pennsylvania and is known for its innovative curriculum and international education programs. In September 1783, six days after the Treaty of Paris was signed, Dickinson became the first college chartered in the newly recognized nation.
The History Channel Web site is located at www.HistoryChannel.com and Dickinson’s archaeology program can be found at http://www.dickinson.edu/departments/arch.

Experts.com's Angi Ma Wong Goes On A Book Tour
Experts.com proudly publishes the following press release issued by its Member Expert Angi Ma Wong:
Contact: Christy Tidmarsh
310-541-8818 | For Immediate Release
May 7, 2001 | FENG SHUI AUTHOR ANGI MA WONG GOES ON MIDWEST BOOK TOUR
Palos Verdes, California - With the Chinese environmental art of feng shui taking the country by storm, the sales of candles wind chimes, tabletop fountains, and Asian-themed linens and home accessories are reaching an all-time high, now cropping up in craft shops and drugstores. While feng shui has been popular for some time on both coasts, this philosophy of living in balance and harmony with one’s environment and nature is beginning to reach the heartland of America. Later this month, feng shui fans in the Midwest will have a chance to hear and meet a real-live celebrity feng shui parctitioner-author.
Straight from a hilarious May 1 segment on LIVE Regis and Kelly, bestselling feng shui author Angi Ma Wong will go on a nine-city media/book tour to promote Feng Shui Dos and Taboos: A Guide to What to Place Where. The original version of FSDos and Taboos was published by Pacific Heritage Books early 2000 and is in its second printing, while the gift book version has become Storey Books' fastest-selling title in its history, with five printings since its release in October 2000. Wong's tour includes interviews, network television appearances, and book signings in St. Louis, Chicago, Atlanta, Columbus, Cinncinati, Lexington, Louisville and Nashville.
