Testimonials

“Nurse Kathi Waite has been an excellent resource for my practice defending medical institutions. Most recently, Kathi wrote an excellent report defending the nursing staff in a lawsuit involving a fall of a high-fall-risk patient. Her insights about nursing practice and her willingness to thoroughly review thousands of pages of medical records made a significant difference to our defense, compared with the generic and simplistic report by the Plaintiff’s nursing expert. Kathi is also a straight-shooter, having told me on another case that she could not support the nursing care of a patient who required significant opioid medications for postoperative pain relief.”  D. Scott Rendleman Defense Attorney Denver CO

“Kathi Waite is a Legal Nurse Consultant in Colorado.  I contacted her to review the hospital records, the employee’s training, the video of the incident, and the police records to determine if the hospital acted appropriately when restraining a patient that resulted in an injury to a hospital employee when the patient attempted to release himself from the restraint.  Ms. Waite reviewed the file quickly and efficiently and wrote a report that concluded that the hospital and staff did not follow their own standard operating procedures.  The case was dismissed.  Ms. Waite is responsive, thorough, frank, concise, and clear.  Her report was instrumental in getting the case dismissed” Susan L Elkins LLC Castle Rock, CO
