Frontline designates 3 physicians in the medical specialty at issue in the litigation.  Each of these 3 physicians independently reviews the facts of the case and submits their opinions using the Case Summary supplied by Frontline.  Physicians are selected based upon not only their work in their specialty but also based upon their experience and location.  Location is a critical issue since a standard of care must be determined for each case and the standard of care can and often does vary depending upon whether the incident occurred in a small-town hospital/clinic with little resources or in a large metropolitan hospital/clinic having significant resources.

Each participating physician will be asked to opine whether the standard of care was met by the physician who is the subject of the litigation and opine whether there are contributing factors involved and what those factors are.

Dr. Powell’s career incorporates military practice, practice in a small town with very limited resources, and practice in large metropolitan hospitals.  Further, Dr. Powell has created a network of physicians in all these locations and in critical areas of practice.
