The Truth is in the Records: Uncovering the Real Story and Avoiding the Pitfalls of Being Fixated On the Plaintiff’s Narrative

In this episode I talk to Jessica Shaffer about how nurses are so capable of finding the needle in the haystack because their unique knowledge and experience in understanding both nursing AND provider documentation is like having a magnet to draw over the hay. We discuss how important it is to not be fixated on the original narrative as provided by the plaintiff, who may be in the dark about the details, and only generates a narrative to explain their sixth sense that something was off... legal nurse consultants let the medical record TELL the story, not just corroborate it.
