99204 Case goes to trial, patient lived: attorney gets $2000

No more contingency fees, no more percentages. Sorry.

The reality of the situation is far from humerous. I can see that the indoctrination process starts relatively early in the clinical training of new providers. ‘Your constant mantra of “supply side restriction” is a joke.’
