The Expert Witness - No Place to Hide
Letter to the editor of Neurology Today, October 15, 2009:
Your Legal-Ease article, The Trials of Providing Expert Witness
Testimony: What You Need to Know, provides invaluable advice
to the neurologist considering forensic opportunities. It is imperative,
as Drs. Richard Beresford and Daniel Larriviere point out, to provide
truthful, evidence-based opinions supported by the available facts
of the case.
PRMS would like to congratulate Alan Felthols, MD and Henning
Sass, MD, the recipients of the 2009 Manfred Guttmacher Award, honoring
outstanding contributions to the literature on forensic psychiatry.
PRMS Builds Awareness and Supports Research for Neurological Disorders
PRMS is committed to building awareness of neurological diseases. As part of this commitment, we participate in a variety of events and causes promoting the research and community outreach of organizations dedicated to fighting these diseases. In April 2009, PRMS sponsored a participant in the MS Walk 2009, and we look forward to supporting more such events in the future. As we cheer on participants and support the invaluable work of this and other organizations, we also hope to lend our support to the many people affected by neurological disorders.
PRMS Risk Manager Quoted in Neurology Today
It has become one of the emerging, controversial topics in medical malpractice: off-label prescribing. How does off-label prescribing affect medical malpractice risk? Is insurance premium affected by prescribing medication off-label? A recent issue of Neurology Today tackled this topic and sought the knowledge of PRMS Vice President of Risk Management Jacqueline Melonas, RN, MS, JD.
