LENTIL AND SWEET POTATO STEW Inspired by EatYourselfSkinny.com
Ingredients
• 1 onion, diced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1 tbsp olive oil • 2 cups green lentils, rinsed
This month, our team is heading into trial on an important medical malpractice case. It involves a highly skilled cosmetic dentist who, after struggling with vision problems, entrusted her care to a surgeon for corrective eye surgery. Tragically, that procedure was botched. The result has left her not only with permanent damage to her eyesight, but also unable to continue her work. For her, dentistry wasn’t just a profession; it was her identity, her passion, and the way she connected to the world. Losing the ability to practice at the level she once did has been devastating for her, physically and emotionally. The loss of vision is, of course, profound. But what makes this case so heartbreaking is the loss of purpose and the daily work she dedicated her entire career to perfecting. Eye surgery cases are notoriously challenging because of the complex science involved. The anatomy of the eye, the precision of the surgical techniques, and the nuances of what went wrong are all very complex. That’s where our work comes in: translating this complexity into a story that jurors can understand. We spend hours with medical experts, breaking down the science, using analogies, and finding clear ways to explain what happened. This case is all about trust and accountability. Trials like this give our clients the chance to tell their story, be heard, and seek justice for the harm they’ve endured. While the road is difficult, it’s also meaningful because we’re not just talking about medicine, we’re talking about a person’s life, identity, and future.
