Dr. W,
I want to sincerely thank you for all that you and the staff at (Professional Medical Malpractice Liability Company) do for the practices and individuals that have malpractice coverage through (Professional Medical Malpractice Liability Company). I have been a pediatrician at (ABC) in Birmingham, Alabama, for my entire career, 19 years. During that time I have always been able to receive help in a timely manner for numerous questions by calling (Professional Medical Malpractice Liability Company). The events of 2020 that have affected every soul in some form have affected some even more deeply. I am a 50% partner in my small practice. Late in 2019, the founding partner of the practice retired and one of the other physicians in the group took over his share of ownership. Additionally, one of the employed physicians at my office went out early in 2020 following knee replacement surgery. As if that were not enough change, our practice hired a new physician out of residency in August 2019, and moved from paper charts to EHR in October 2019. Needless to say, (ABC) was already in “embrace change” mode when COVID-19 hit!
In mid-March, a group of pediatricians met at (XYZ)’s Birmingham to discuss how to approach the realities of the changing landscape of providing pediatric care as the pandemic became personal. One week later, on March 20, 2020, just after celebrating his 21st wedding anniversary, my brother felt a sharp pain in his chest and fell to the floor of his living room. He had suffered a massive heart attack and did not survive the ambulance ride to the hospital. My already-tenuous hold on keeping everything together fell apart. When I heard about the confidential coaching support that (Professional Medical Malpractice Liability Company). had arranged through Winning Focus Inc, I felt that I should investigate the service further. I contacted Gail Fiore at Winning Focus and discussed everything that had transpired through late March 2020. She was attentive and genuinely cared about my concerns. Gail connected me with an excellent counselor and therapist who helped me manage my stress in a constructive manner. Through the coaching I received, I have been able to get back on track with my personal life and professional life. The working mantra that my office has embraced is “the only thing consistent is change”. Through the support of my wife and three sons and my work family, the outlook is certainly brighter than it was 6 months ago. I truly cannot thank you enough for offering this coaching service through Winning Focus. (Professional Medical Malpractice Liability Company). has helped me professionally over many years and now has helped me personally—I will be forever grateful.
Sincerely,
R. M. W., MD
