Case types
Where my clinical background fits
Breast surgery, trauma, transplant, pediatrics, GI, and orthopedics — plus the perioperative systems that surround them: consent, counts, specimen handling, timeouts, staffing, credentialing, and policy.
- Retained surgical items and count discrepancies
- Wrong-site, wrong-procedure, and consent disputes
- Positioning, pressure, and burn injuries
- Specimen mishandling and pathology delays
- Post-operative monitoring and failure to rescue
- Facility policy, staffing, and Joint Commission compliance
