Prevention is the best medicine.

Through representing individuals injured as a result of medical negligence, the attorneys at Gourley, Rehkemper & Lindholm have also recognized the importance of patients choosing the right physicians to treat their medical issues.  We encourage all of those in need of medical procedures and treatment to thoroughly research the procedures, physicians and hospitals that may be involved before making their decision to undergo the procedures.  Information on doctors track records can be obtained through the Iowa Board of Medical Examiners [http://medicalboard.iowa.gov] and one can always search Iowa Courts Online [http://www.iowacourts.state.ia.us/ESAWebApp/SelectFrame] to get an idea as to whether or not the medical professional recommended has been subjected to malpractice lawsuits in the past.  It should be understood though that a mere lawsuit against a doctor does not mean that he or she has done anything falling beneath the standard of care.  However, numerous suits on file should raise a red flag.  Also, do not hesitate to ask a physician about their track record.  You have the right to know and any physician that is unwilling to truthfully disclose prior lawsuits or disciplinary proceedings against him/her may not be your best choice for treatment.
