🎙️ Coming soon: I recently joined Sam J Frentzas on the Driving Force podcast by VMA Spinal Imaging to discuss a topic at the intersection of medicine and law, the role of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in personal injury cases, and the Closed Loop model of care.
We covered:
🔹 When SCS is the right option for patients with persistent pain after traumatic injury
🔹 How documentation strengthens both clinical decision-making and medical-legal defensibility
🔹 Why the Closed Loop model — urgent care → clinic → ASC — gets injured patients evaluated and treated in days, not months, with every step coordinated under one clinical team.
For my physician colleagues: this conversation speaks to how we can offer injured patients evidence-based, non-opioid solutions without the delays and fragmentation of the traditional referral pathway.
For personal injury attorneys: when your client can be seen the same day, treatment starts sooner, suffering is addressed faster, and the record reflects a clear, well-documented continuum of care from initial evaluation through advanced interventions like SCS. We discuss what well-supported candidacy looks like, how future care needs are projected, and what deposition-proof records should contain.
Better outcomes. Faster relief. Stronger documentation.
Thank you, Sam and the VMA Spinal Imaging team, for a great conversation. The episode drops soon , I’ll share the link here as soon as it’s live. Stay tuned. 🎧
