Things are tough right now for small business owners, but imagine fighting a legal battle on top of it? At this time I think everyone has a sense of the concepts of risk vs reward and vulnerability. No one understands the vulnerabilities that health care providers can face and how to mitigate them better than Stephanie Rodin, Esq. Right or wrong my guess is there are going to be lawsuits against places of business if people believe they contracted COVID19 at their facility. Listen in on our chat and even have a chance to ask Stephanie a question that may help all of us out! Stephanie will kindly answer the following on FiRE5: 1. What do you find most challenging for your clients when they open up their practice? 2. Has Covid-19 impacted the way that your client's are providing treatment to their patients? 3. What can practitioners do to protect themselves against this new climate of patient care that we find ourselves in? 4. For practitioners who are just starting their career, are you finding any changes that they should be aware of?'' I didn't become a PT to learn about the legal side of healthcare, but once I opened up my own shop I had no choice. Enter Stephanie, who comes from a family of healthcare providers and knows that we all want to be able to practice our craft without having fear of leaving ourselves legally vulnerable down the road. After years of defending providers in alleged malpractice actions brought against them by prior patients, she has a real knack for explaining the "Why behind the What" and does it with patience and thoroughness. Getting the chance to ask her a question is a real gift!
