I was involved in a case (bad outcome) that is being reviewed and I am now supposed to have a phone conversation with the nurse expert who reviewed the chart. Has anyone had to do something like this before? I'm wondering what the motivations for this are...I know we can't give legal advice on here so I'm not really asking for that, just looking for experiences. Feel free to PM...Thanks!
