Behind The Knife: The Surgery Podcast
About this episode
Joining Dr. Scott Steele today on Behind the Knife is Steve Crandall, a former medical negligence DEFENSE lawyer who, for reasons we will discuss, switched sides and now represents the patient who is suing care providers.  He is a founding partner of Crandall & Pera Law and also has been ranked as both one of the Top 5 Lawyers in Cleveland and Top 10 best Lawyers in Ohio for over 15 years. Crandall, a seasoned plaintiff attorney specializing in medical malpractice, joins the hosts to illuminate the key factors behind common lawsuits in surgery, the pivotal role of informed consent, standout cases with crucial learning points, expert witness strategies, and practical advice for surgeons to stay out of legal trouble.
