TB: <\/strong>I have practiced for more than 26 years and seen a vast range of obstetrics and gynecological problems. Over the course of my career, I\u2019ve performed more than 6,000 deliveries and seen tens of thousands of patients.<\/p>\n I am honored to be a part of someone\u2019s medical journey, and when it comes to delivering babies, that means being a part of their life forever. It is a privilege I don\u2019t take lightly.<\/p>\n AALM: <\/strong>What compelled you to start your own solo practice.<\/p>\n TB: <\/strong>I have had a solo OB\/GYN practice for 24 years. I began with a group practice, but quickly realized I didn\u2019t enjoy rotating patients. I wanted continuity\u2014to take care of the patient for the full nine months and be there to do the delivery. I have a relationship with my patients and close contact. I believe that makes for better medical care. Nothing falls through the cracks because there is one person responsible for the patient\u2014me.<\/p>\n AALM: <\/strong>Are there any cases in your expert witness work that have stood out as significant?<\/p>\n TB: <\/strong>Having worked as an expert for more than a decade, working on both sides of the aisle, I can say they all stand out for me. They\u2019re all important to each party involved and I treat them the same and remember them the same because of that.<\/p>\n It is a privilege to be able to look at someone\u2019s medical records and history. I take it very seriously and approach each matter with deep respect. I\u2019m grateful that my role as an expert witness has given me another avenue to present my training and experience.<\/p>\n AALM: <\/strong>How would you describe your approach to your work as an expert witness? How do you think this separates you from other experts?<\/p>\n TB: <\/strong>I\u2019m thorough and meticulous in my chart review and report writing as well as my testimony. I think what separates me from other experts is my vast experience. I\u2019m still running a full practice\u2014I\u2019m actively seeing patients and performing surgeries and deliveries.<\/p>\n Additionally, I had the opportunity to train at some of the top institutions\u2014UC Berkeley, UCLA and USC while doing my residency at Cedar Sinai Medical Center. As we know, there are many ways to perform the same procedure, something I saw firsthand in my training. I can appreciate these different approaches when looking at another physician\u2019s work.<\/p>\n AALM: <\/strong>Over the course of your 25 years in OB\/GYN\u00a0 practice, what are some of the biggest changes you\u2019ve seen?<\/p>\n TB: <\/strong>I believe that patients are becoming more litigious\u2014some rightfully so. My purpose is to make sure that positions get defended properly and that patients get treated properly.<\/p>\n The post Dr. Tristan Emily Bickman: At the Beginning of the Medical Journey<\/a> appeared first on Attorney at Law Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/black%400.5x.png?resize=172%2C63&ssl=1\" "\\"\\"")
