Charles Theisler, a former steelworker, was born and raised in the heartland of Ohio's iron and steel corridor. Skilled in medicine and the law, he possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of both fields. After receiving undergraduate degrees in biology and psychology he went on to the University of Akron School of Law where he was drawn to the specialized field of medical malpractice. In an effort to expand his working clinical knowledge, he attended medical school and graduated as a trained physician and surgeon. In addition to two U.S. patents for medical devices, he has an impressive medical and legal publications list. He married his favorite former patient, raised a family, and continues to practice medical malpractice law. When he isn't glued to a medical or legal book, he spends time working outdoors or writing. Dr. Theisler's professional expertise and dedicationto helping fellow physicians make him an invaluable resource in the area of medical malpractice.
Dr. Theisler's book should be standard reading for all medical schools. It is a comprehensive, easy to access look into all the legal pitfalls that a practicing physician needs to know. Any physician following Dr. Theisler's pearls of legal wisdom will save money, reduce their legal heartaches, and will provide his/ her patients with optimal care. I can't recommend his book highly enough. It is a must read. -- Andrew Lawson, MD, FACEP
