After about 17 years of medical practice in surgery and emergency medicine, I began a law practice concentrating on helping people injured by the medical system. From one small room, I have expanded my law office to now include five other people. We now represent people injured by medical providers, people injured by badge-heavy police officers, and people with brain injuries occurring in traffic accidents. In addition, I represent disabled people claiming government or private insurance benefits. And, with a focus on health care, I actively and aggressively pursue cases for "whistle-blowing" employees.
I am active in advocating for changes in national health policy, specifically in promoting national single-payer health care for all Americans and in protecting the right of people to seek accountability when injured by healthcare providers. I created and pushed through to passage a legislative measure that required the State of Utah to publish statistics comparing the cost and quality of health care providers. That has now been siezed upon by the Utah Legislature and expanded to include reports on the cost and quality of ALL providers, and I am actively working with the state committee charged with implementing that idea.
