Jamie Shupe: Med Record
Attachments: mhv_SHUPE_20190312_1650.pdf
Here's the med records. I've been very careful with the VA to always use secure messaging for almost all discussions, so there would always be medical evidence.
It takes a 3 days or so for updates to them, only a couple minor notes missing.

The medical records would be very helpful. And your contacts are very good. I’m especially a fan of Laidlaw.

Here's another one: Andre Van Mol. I'm also in touch with Dr. Michelle Cretelaa.

Florida has good jury verdicts, and that is what you want if you are going to persuade doctors to practice sound medicine. I am looking at a few different attorneys who have had success in medical malpractice
jury cases. I’ll narrow it down and then try to put you in touch with the top pick.
In the meantime, allow me to tell why I am motivated to help you and explain how and why I’d like to be involved in the litigation. I am a faithful Catholic who tries to use my legal skill to build the kingdom of
God while at the same time, supporting my family. In addition to my law practice, I write, teach, and speak about the culture, faith, and the law as much as I can. My law practice has evolved to being primarily
a litigation practice. I handle injury cases, medical malpractice (med Mal), contract disputes, construction cases, and agricultural litigation. If your case were in Nebraska, I’d probably want to file it for you.
I’m not licensed in Florida, but even so, I’d like to be the lead attorney on your case, which is possible when a local attorney serves as co-counsel. This does not mean that you would pay two or more
attorneys though. There is still one contingent fee, and it is the same percentage of the overall verdict or settlement. Med Mal contingent fees are usually about 50% of the verdict or settlement. They are high
because the cases are difficult to win. This is the case even when they seem like they should be easy. If we can find a skilled attorney in Florida, your fees would still only be 50%. It is possible that the
contingent fees in Florida med Mal cases are less than 50%. I’m okay with whatever the local practice is. If it is 40%, 35%, whatever. The good news is, you generally know if you have a good med Mal case
pretty early in the process.
I want to be the lead attorney for three main reasons: 1. Some excellent trial attorneys do not understand the cultural and/or religious implications of some cases. They fail to make some persuasive arguments
because they don’t know any better. I have experience making arguments based on science, statistics, ethics, and religion, when appropriate. 2. I am convinced that gender ideology is deadly. It is deadly to
the individual and it is deadly to the culture. Many attorneys are not going to feel that way, but some might take your case anyway because they see the potential for a large verdict and publicity. If they are not
as certain about the evil of gender ideology, they may not be as thorough and aggressive as they would otherwise be in a typical med Mal case. I think I can fill in that gap should it occur, even though we’d be
looking for local counsel who is not simply looking for a large paycheck. 3. Your case is going to need some medical expert testimony. As a Catholic, and a Catholic who has some connections within the

Church nationally, I may have access to some experts who a non-Catholic and a non-Christian may not know. The experts may not be Catholic, but the only way we are likely to find them is through networking
with Catholic physicians. The average psychologist, psychiatrist, or medical doctor is not going to want to lift a finger to help you. I think I could be a significant assistance to your case in this respect. Without
experts who are willing to say that your doctors failed to provide the proper “standard of care”, you have no case. We find this out early in the process. If a doc steps forward and says there was medical
malpractice, we move forward. If nobody steps forward, we keep on looking.
But we can’t keep looking forever. There is a statute of limitations on med Mal claims. In Nebraska, you have to make your claim within two years of the malpractice or the date when you had the capacity to
understand it was malpractice. Florida appears to require it to be filed within two years, or in the case of fraud, 4 years. Either way, it is best to move quickly.
If this raises any questions or concerns for you, let me know and I’ll do my best to respond. As soon as we have a meeting of the minds, I’ll make some calls and see if we can get you in to see someone in
the near future.
